On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer in a horrific accident. His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos - the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad's fate. It is every parent's worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian. He is on the wrong side of the separation wall, holds the wrong ID to pass the military checkpoints, and has the wrong papers to enter the city of Jerusalem. Abed's quest to find Milad is interwoven with the stories of a cast of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and histories unexpectedly converge: a kindergarten teacher and a mechanic who rescue children from the burning bus; an Israeli army commander and a Palestinian official who confront the aftermath at the scene of the crash; a settler paramedic; ultra-Orthodox emergency service workers; and two mothers who each hope to claim one severely injured boy. Immersive and gripping, this is an indelibly human portrait of the Jewish-Palestinian struggle that offers a new understanding of the tragic history and reality of one of the most contested places on earth. -- $c Adapted from publisher's description. 650 0 $a Jewish-Arab relations. 650 0 $a Palestinian Arabs $z Israel $x Social conditions. 600 10 $a Salama, Abed. 650 0 $a Parental grief $z Israel. 650 0 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $y 1993- 651 0 $a Jerusalem $x Social conditions. 650 6 $a Relations judeÌo-arabes. 650 6 $a Palestiniens $z IsraeÌl $x Conditions sociales. 650 6 $a Chagrin chez les parents $z IsraeÌl. 650 6 $a Conflit israeÌlo-arabe $y 1993- 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Middle Eastern. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Arab-Israeli conflict $2 fast 650 7 $a Jewish-Arab relations $2 fast 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs $x Social conditions $2 fast 650 7 $a Parental grief $2 fast 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast 651 7 $a Israel $2 fast 651 7 $a Middle East $z Jerusalem $2 fast 648 7 $a Since 1993 $2 fast 650 7 $a Jewish-Arab relations. $2 sears 650 7 $a Palestinian Arabs. $2 sears 650 7 $a Israel-Arab conflicts. $2 sears 651 7 $a Jerusalem. $2 sears 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thrall, Nathan. $t Day in the life of Abed Salama. $b First edition $d New York : Metropolitan Books, Henry Holt and Company, 2023 $z 9781250854988 $w (DLC) 2023017071 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20240621131342.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B99D88662F9911EF97908F8E36ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
