Synopsis
A fascinating memoir interweaving Gunn's experiences as a human rights worker in Deheishe, a Palestinian refugee camp, and those of Mohammad Abu Aker who was critically shot during a stone throwing demonstration, living in the camp with his family as a "living martyr" until his death at 19 in 1990. Gunn's perspective is from the inside: what it means to live in a camp, under curfew, her efforts to obtain medical attention for the young man, the strength of these families and their humor.
