A Forbidden Love — Chayym Zeldis

As a child Layleh would peek through the hedge to watch a boy playing in his family's garden. One day as she peered through, his eyes were staring back. That was the beginning...Layleh and Uri grew up side by side in Jerusalem, yet the hedge between the separated not only their homes but also their worlds. Layleh was a beautiful young Arab girl; Uri, a sensitive Israeli. In a land of poisoned dreams and tragic bloodshed, they refused to betray the love that grew between them. They had a gift to share with the world-a passion that would triumph over generations of war.
