Bless Your Heart

One of the most powerful responses
To my novel Dear Layla Welcome to Palestine 
Was yours

I sent you a draft
You stopped reading 
After fifty pages

It was the chapter in which the Israeli officer
Gave instructions to the soldiers
How to "deal with" the Palestinians

It overwhelmed you
It broke something inside you
The story was impossible to finish
