Alive and Beating by Rebecca Wolf

Inspired by a true story, this powerful debut follows six people from diverse backgrounds and neighborhoods throughout Jerusalem - Jewish, Muslim, and Christian—brought together by the need for organ transplants, on the day their lives will be forever changed. As ancient divisions give way to shared humanity, Alive and Beating explores renewal, connection, and the hope that transcends faith, politics, and circumstance. “A hopeful moving novel based on a true event.” -Independent Book review
