Keep me in your heart.

Sarit Yishai-Levi / Modan

If she were to tell the story of her life, where would she begin? Would it be on the day she was born? And was it in the same city, in the same country, to the same family, to the same parents? Or would she begin on the day she was abandoned by the champion of her youth, who sent her away from their home and his heart as if she were a stranger and an outcast in her own life?

At the heart of her life, Neta discovers that everything she took for granted has cracked, and the perfect picture of her happy marriage shatters into a thousand pieces. Her husband, a well-known media figure, leaves her in tears, she loses her job as a journalist, and Yuli, her only and beloved son, is estranged from her. Not long after, something worse happens: Yuli disappears, but everyone except her is sure that he will return any moment. Contrary to popular opinion, Neta gathers her strength and sets out on a hair-raising journey in search of her missing son. Her travels take her far from home, to Paris, Cairo, and a Greek island - but also in pursuit of a love greater than life.

This is one woman's journey, moving between anger and denial, to acceptance and love, in search of what is most precious to her. Amidst the storms and new discoveries, her possibility arises to rediscover herself, to reconcile with her past, to forgive and to love.

This is the third novel by Sarit Yishai-Levi, the beloved author of The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem and A Woman Across the Sea, which have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and been translated into twenty-one languages. The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem was adapted into a successful series that was screened around the world and performed at the Beit Lessin Theater.
