**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

A middle-aged man comforts his Holocaust-survivor mother as she faces senility, convinced that Nazis are conspiring against her. In a land where sudden death is an everyday fact of life, a boy dodges bullets and searches through rubble for news of his soldier father. And the mysterious biblical red heifer makes a startling appearance in the midst of a decidedly contemporary struggle. In these unsettling tales, the remarkable Jon Papernick transports us to modern-day Israel, a country torn by war, strife, and controversy.
