These Olive Trees

It’s 1967 in Nablus, Palestine. Oraib loves the olive trees that grow outside the refugee camp where she lives. Olives have always tied her family to the land, as Oraib learns from the stories Mama tells of a home before war. But war has come to their door once more… The story of a Palestinian family’s ties to the land, and how one young girl finds a way to care for her home, even as she says goodbye.
