The Trio

By Diana Toups

The soldiers came at dusk, sweeping like a hungry fire through the village of Ein Karem. During the catastrophe, seventeen-year-old Carmel and her family are forced from their ancestral home and young Carmel is wounded. When she wakes, she finds her world changed, her home empty, the soldiers gone. Her only companions are her scruffy dog Francis and her family's faithful olive tree.

With their family now stuck on the other side of a great partition wall, Carmel, Francis and Olive struggle to make sense of a situation that seems to only worsen with time. Will Carmel's family ever be allowed to return? Or will their rights be forever denied? Their memories erased along with the last faded black-and-white photograph documenting their existence?
