When Alisha Birnbaum accidentally exposes a suicide bomber, her mother is killed by a car bombing in Jerusalem. Alisha identifies the bombers and they chase her back to Erie, Pennsylvania. After her father is killed, Alisha enters the witness protection program and can only maintain her Jewish identity through a Mormon professor who teaches Jewish Studies. Alisha is safely hidden, but will she shed her assumed identity to save her former best friend from her pursuers. Can she keep faith with her Jewish heritage while living in a Christian home? From whom does she draw strength in the final showdown? The sweetness of being sixteen is seasoned by horrific tragedy and a budding reliance on a mixture of two faiths.
