Politics & Prose at Busboys and Poets Takoma welcomes Noa Baum to present the new book "A Land Twice Promised: An Israeli Woman's Quest for Peace."
Baum grew up in Israel, under the shadow of the Holocaust and in the midst of ongoing regional conflicts, where she honed the storytelling skills that have earned her a Parents’ Choice Recommended Award and a Storytelling World Award. She has worked with groups including congregations of various faiths, the U.S. Defense Department, and the World Bank. As her powerful and moving memoir of her friendship with a Palestinian woman brought up under the Israeli occupation attests, however, Baum’s skills have met the greatest challenge with her own homeland.
