When the keynote speaker for Anti-Oppression Day turns out to be a supporter of terrorist attacks not only against Israeli military targets, but also against Israeli civilians and Jews around the world, Judith protests. As a result, she is marginalized by the faculty and her peers, and her life begins to unravel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a moving novel about love, betrayal, and the courage to stand up for what one believes, as well as a searing indictment of the hypocrisy and intellectual sloth that threaten the integrity of our society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Wistful Woman' painting on the cover was created by Peter Worsley (http: \/\/www.peterworsley.com\/), and used with the artist's permission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Nora Gold\u003c\/b\u003e is a prize-winning author, activist, and scholar.
