Publisher's Synopsis
Lilach has it all: a beautiful home in the heart of Silicon Valley, a successful husband and stable marriage, and a teenage son, Adam, with whom she has always felt a particular closeness. Israeli immigrants, the family has now lived in the U.S. long enough that they consider it home. But after a brutal attack on a local synagogue shakes their sense of safety, Adam unexpectedly enrolls in a self-defense class taught by a former Israeli Special Forces officer and finds a new sense of confidence and belonging. Then, tragedy strikes again when an African American boy dies at a house party. Rumours begin to circulate that the death was not accidental, and that Adam and his new friends had a history with Jamal. And soon Lilach is questioning everything she thought she knew about her son.
