This morning I finished up Raquela by Ruth Gruber on my kindle and I can't say enough good about this biography. It is the life story of a nurse midwife in Israel and begins in 1905 and ends in the late 1970s. The various wars that were fought over this time period are explained and an historical perspective is obtained of where things are in the Middle East today from the Israeli perspective when reading this book. Certainly there are two sides to every story but it is important to see this side of the issues too. The book also clarifies the position of the United States of being supportive of Israel. So far 2015 has been filled with good books that I have enjoyed and I know I have said this close to if not more than ten times but I really will be surprised if Raquela by Ruth Gruber does not make it to my top ten list this year. I encourage every one to read this book. Please be sure and click on the book title and author's name above to learn more. The video that follows is about the author of Raquela - Ruth Gruber.
