In this emotional missive from the diaspora, the best-selling and award-winning author and journalist is reflecting, with deep empathy, on the horrific October 7th attacks on Israeli citizens, rising anti-Semitism, and the brutal violence against civilians in Gaza.
As one of the leading Canadian voices on Jewish identity, Lederman’s impassioned column in the Globe and Mail has been a lifeline for readers since October 7th, 2023. The work collected in this book captures the pain of so many: Marsha’s prose has a way of cutting through the noise and capturing the humanity behind the headlines. She makes room for the reader to be conflicted, grieving, angry and unsure, and is with them through that process as she, like all of us, grapples with a new reality. Marsha’s writing has captured the full complexity of the experience of reconciling an abhorrence of the violence against Israelis and Palestinians with the trauma and fear of rising prejudice around the world.
MARSHA LEDERMAN is a columnist at The Globe and Mail, a recipient of the Jack Webster Award for Excellence in Arts and Culture Reporting and the best-selling author of Kiss the Red Stairs, winner of the Western Canada Jewish Book Award for Memoir/Biography.
