You Are Allowed: A Story of Finding Where You Belong, Not Where You Began - Paperback

by Odelia Elgarat (Author)

Esther, a young woman living in a kibbutz in the south of Israel, undertakes a journey to find her biological mother who abandoned her at birth in Paris. She is fueled with the belief that reuniting with her birth mother will provide the answers she's been searching for and will fill the void she's been feeling her entire life.

In careful and precise writing, You ARE Allowed takes the reader through turbulent pieces of Esther's life journey: her childhood in France, a relationship with an Israeli woman that exposes her to a world of crime and danger, an unplanned pregnancy, and a seemingly routine life in Israel filled with secrets and old wounds.
