The Settler: A novel of modern Israel

By Orit Arfa

What will you find when you've lost everything?

In August 2005, Sarah Dakar didn't lose only the home she loved in Gush Katif, a Jewish settlement in Gaza, she lost her faith in God, her country and humanity.

How could God have mercilessly allowed her own army to drag her out of her home? And how could her fellow citizens have cheered on the destruction of her beloved seaside community?

She heads to the Tel Aviv suburbs to start college, but while she once thought she'd bring holiness to Tel Aviv, Israel's "sin city," this "good girl" now seeks solace and answers in the city's pleasures. Through her friendship with her cousin and musician, Dael Mark, she discovers the power of music to heal her.

Her quest for her true voice leads her to the dance floor of Tel Aviv's hottest nightclub, Atlantis, and in the arms of its charismatic owner, Ziv Harel. Ziv is more than glad to transform a "religious settler" into a nightlife queen, but how far will Sarah go to question who she is-and at what cost?Order your copy now and go behind the headlines in this gripping story of love, music, and the search for redemption.
