Over the next few years, Isra is increasingly isolated in a foreign country, mother to four daughters, with a volatile husband and an overbearing mother-in-law. Pressure on her is heavy to be an obedient and submissive wife and to bear sons. Isra leaves behind everything she knows to begin married life with a near stranger. Isra is quickly married off to Adam, who is older than her and lives in Brooklyn with his parents, brothers, and younger sister. She’s quiet and bookish, an obedient daughter to parents who see her as more of a burden than her brothers simply because she is a girl. In 1990, Isra is a teenage girl living in Palestine. ![]()
