They planned to be there for a year, but a few months into their stay, Daniel and his wife decided to remain in Jerusalem permanently, confident that their children would be among the first generation of Israelis to grow up in peace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImmediately after arriving in Israel, Daniel had started sending out e-mails about his life to friends and family abroad. These missives--passionate, thoughtful, beautifully written, and informative--began reaching a much broader readership than he'd ever envisioned, eventually being excerpted in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e to much acclaim. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn edited and finely crafted collection of Daniel's original e-mails, \u003ci\u003eHome to Stay\u003c\/i\u003e is a first-person, immediate account of Israel's post-Oslo meltdown that cuts through the rhetoric and stridency of most dispatches from that country or from the international media. Above all, \u003ci\u003eHome to Stay\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of a family that must cope with the sudden realization that they took their children from a serene and secure neighborhood in Los Angeles to an Israel not at peace but mired in war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is the chronicle of a loss of innocence--the innocence of Daniel and his wife, and of their children. Ultimately, through Daniel's eyes, Israel, with all its beauty, madness, violence, and history, comes to life in a way we've never quite seen before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Gordis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Crown Publishing Group (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.28w x 0.82d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400049592\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Gordis \u003c\/b\u003eis the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eSaving Israel. \u003c\/i\u003eHis previous books include\u003ci\u003e If a Place Can Make You Cry, The Promise of Israel, Home to Stay, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eGod Was Not in the Fire.\u003c\/i\u003e He is a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe Jerusalem Post, \u003c\/i\u003eand has written for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times, The New Republic, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine, \u003c\/i\u003e among other publications.
