If you want to know what it really feels like to live in Israel and why people stay, even when the challenges become formidable, then
you should read this book!
The moment she lands in Israel, 22-year-old Shelly Kaplan's whole life changes.
For Better and For Worse is the unforgettable story of Shelly's inspiring, amusing, perilous, and at times painful transformation from secular American Jew to passionate Israeli.
Shelly's newfound faith, and love for her people and country carry her through the highs and lows of life in the Holy Land. Jump-started by childhood encounters with anti-Semitism, her powerful and moving 25-year journey through the Land of Israel reveals the beauty, magic, and spirit of Zion as she becomes deeply attached to the dynamic Jewish homeland, its rich heritage and remarkable people.
New-immigrant struggles, wars, terrorism, pleas to return to the US - nothing can dim the light glowing vibrantly within Shelly. But when a horrific national crisis threatens to tear the people of Israel apart, she's tested as never before.
Your heart will be pulled in many directions as the spirited and determined Shelly discovers herself and her new yet ancient home, as she and Israel go forward together, with ups and downs, the good and the bad... for better and for worse.
