For fans of, Khaled Hosseini, Anita Diamant, and Isabelle Allende comes a sweeping story of love, loss, and the power of loyalty in the face of conflicting ideologies and religious beliefs. The story begins in 1940s Palestine where twins Rasheed and Rasheeda Dinar work in the family's inns. When Rasheed falls in love with Natalia, a Jewish woman, he applies what he learned from the Jesuit priest who mentored him to his budding relationship but by then relations between Arabs and Jews have become tense. And when those tensions come to a breaking point, Natalia mysteriously disappears, and Rasheed and Rasheeda are chased out of Palestine forced to flee to Beirut, Lebanon. As the years pass and the Dinar family expands and enters the 1970s, their convictions are tested. Until the family reunites and proves that the thin line separating people because of their differences is powerless against the strength of family, love, and loyalty.

I was very excited when I found out I would be receiving a advanced copy of Replenishing the Sea of Galilee. It sounded so interesting and part of the story took place in Lebanon. I am half Lebanese and was excited to read about the country. The story follows twins, Rasheed and Rasheeda Dinar. Set in Palestine during the 1940�s (and through the 1970�s), we follow their stories of loss, relationship hardship and the power of familial bonds and love. Rasheed, a Muslim, falls in love with a Jewish woman named Natalia. Over time, their religious differences get the better of them. Natalia disappears under weird circumstances. The twins are chased out of Palestine and land in Beirut, Lebanon. I won�t ruin the most exciting parts of the book but it�s a whirlwind from here on out! I think this is a timely and appropriate story for the love of differences between people. It teaches the importance of looking past your differences with others and instead focusing on our similarities. Proves that with mutual love and understanding.. anything is possible.
