Dr Runa Mackay writes with authority and verve about her forty years’ service in Israel and Lebanon. Her story is medically impressive, socially moving and politically trenchant. Her faith, courage and sustained commitment to the Palestinian cause over so many years is deeply challenging.
Revd Dr Gordon Strachan
Director, Church of Scotland Centre, Tiberias 1987-1989
Having lived in Galilee, in Lebanon and in the Occupied Territories, she bears witness for Palestinians living within that trinity – in Israel’s ‘Green Line’, in the diaspora of exile and under occupation … The resilience, courage, generosity and warmth of a nation living under extremes of wretchedness and confronting the greatest of odds comes through in page after page of this remarkable book.
