She was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nearly killed in Seattle during a jihadist bombing, Ashley recognizes the synagogue bomber and is later stalked by a hired Muslim hit man in Israel. There she visits the home of Najid, the Christian Palestinian scholar she had left behind at the University of Washington. She falls in love with him, putting her at odds with her Zionist pro-Israeli convictions.
On the run, Ashley sees the beautiful rock churches and shrines. But the living stones, the people of the Holy Land, intrigue her. She meets Jews and Palestinians; rabbis for and against Israeli settlement expansion; gentle Palestinians like Najid’s family; those in the West Bank suffering under military occupation; and Muslims and Christians living peacefully together.
Najid and Ashley find the bomber in Seattle despite the FBI dragnet put out to arrest him. Living Stones is the story of an American woman coming to terms with the truth of the Middle East that has been hidden for so long. Will she survive the forces that threaten to tear her apart?
