How did a remnant of scattered Jews rise to build a mighty superpower in the Middle East? Fleeing his father’s anti-Semitic organization, Charles Devonshire journeys into the most volatile landgrab in history—Post WWII Palestine. Charles pursues a beautiful but mysterious librarian, Gladia, who introduces him to the elaborate Jewish underground. While joining their plight to reestablish a homeland, he falls in love with her and faces painful challenges in developing a relationship within their culture gap. And in the midst of battling the hostile inhabitants who also laid claim to Palestine, he searches for clues of his own troubled past. Can Charles pursue love, uncover his family secrets and avoid being trapped in the middle of the world’s longest feud? Rebirth draws you into 1948, into a world of intrigue, espionage and anti-Semitism. Witness how ancient prophecies were fulfilled against impossible odds as Israel built a nation and defied skeptics. Journey through the precarious events that led to Israel’s miraculous rebirth on May 14, 1948. Experience the unrelenting pursuits of the most persecuted race, and how their renewed strength reestablished their original language, customs and land cultivations after 2,000 years of desolation—an accomplishment no other nation can claim.

My Thoughts
This is a story, based on true events, that grabbed me right from the first page. I have to admit that I do not know the details of what it was like in Israel in the period after the WWII. The telling of this story was just amazing to me. A very well researched story that is told without holding anything back. How the horrors of WWII continue on for the Jews in Israel and how they persevere and continue on in their fight for freedom. How a race of people so persecuted and tortured for their beliefs still able to love. This is definitely a story that will stay with me for a long time, very educating and enlightening and I look forward to reading the next one.
