Who Am I And Where Is Home?: An American Woman In 1931 Palestine

A memoir/biography/compilation of letters to and from a young Jewish-American poet living in Palestine for one year during the Depression, including correspondence with her family in Brooklyn and with two of her suitors - one an ardent Zionist full of romantic schemes and the other a beginning attorney struggling to support his parents and sisters. Befriending other young Americans living in Jerusalem, she teaches English and then works as secretary to a British engineer charged with overhauling the Jerusalem sewer system, which had been constructed by the Romans some 2000 years before. Her active social life is interrupted when one of the suitors arrives for a visit.
