Query: amazing story, well written

I read this book about 15 years ago and remember loving it. I accidentally found it again as a kindle book and purchased it. The story of this woman's life is fascinating and I could hardly put it down. Her life mirrors the fight for an Israeli state and she was involved in many crucial events. The author helps you to see the world through Raquela's eyes. I read this book along with a story of a Palestinian doctor from GazaI Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity. Together, they provided in interesting look at people on opposing sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I liked and was able to sympathize with both people and both sides. Both memoirs had the same theme - everyday Palestinians and Israeli's want and can live together in peace. Regular people do not dislike each other, but they do have very different life experiences. My college age daughter also read both books and found them also a great pair to read together.
