Fania  a 16-year-old survivor of a pogrom in the Ukraine  arrives in pre-state Israel with her uncle  her deranged brother and her unwanted baby  a product of rape. Upon her arrival in Jaffa  she meets Yehiel  a 26-year-old widower  the father of two  and one of the few courageous souls left in Gai Oni. Severe drought and exhausting work have driven away most of the pioneers  leaving behind only a few tenacious families. Fania moves in with Yehiel and throws herself into the life of a peasant woman  trying to squeeze a living out of the stony ground despite hunger and disease. Wearing Arab robes  she rides through the bandit-infested country and breaks into the male-dominated worlds of commerce and politics  even of defense.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985115967541,"sku":"ByrdShop_1592642306","price":64.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781592642304.jpg?v=1770847301","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/valley-of-strength","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
