A heartfelt novel (fiction) born from the need to give voice to the human heart inside unimaginable events. Through Leora, the young and elderly captives, the soldiers, and the families, I tried to illuminate the courage, pain, resilience, and hope that emerged from one of Israel’s darkest days. Writing it was my responsibility as a human being and an Israeli citizen, and a way to honor those who lived, those who were lost, and those who continue to carry the story forward. It is a novel of resilience and solidarity – fiction inspired by the horrors of that day.

This book emerged from a deeply personal maternal journey—one filled with doubt, pain, and the quiet, difficult questions that every mother confronts. Through Tali’s story, I explore the profound internal shifts that take place when a woman faces challenges that are anything but simple. Her journey transforms uncertainty into resilience, hesitation into strength, and fear into growth. As both a writer and a psychologist specializing in parenting, I revisited motherhood through Tali’s evolving emotional landscape, watching her redefine herself in the face of adversity. Walking a Tightrope turns her struggle into a story of courage, transformation, and the inner victories that shape a mother's life

This memoir, written in the wake of my mother’s passing and the profound bond we shared, unexpectedly reached thousands of readers who found themselves reflected in its themes. Many wrote to tell me that the book felt as if it had been written “exactly about them,” even when their childhood took place in entirely different places. Though rooted in the intimate story of our family and the intertwined life of twin sisters, the book resonated far beyond its origins. Readers connected deeply with its exploration of memory, home, identity, and the quiet emotional footprints we all carry. What began as a personal journey became a universal one, echoing shared experiences of love, loss, and the ties that shape us.
