Based on a true story . . .

Bright, beautiful, and bold, Jane Digby led a remarkable life. Born to privilege in 1807 at Dorset, England, she soon scandalized Europe with her reckless pursuit of freedom. She sacrificed home, family, and respectability for her passions. Kings, princes, barons, brigands, lords, and sheikhs were among her lovers. A gifted artist and musician, as well as a superb horsewoman, she spoke several languages, read widely, wrote eloquently, and embraced all manner of culture and travel.

An amusing, thoughtful, and moving work of historical fiction, Jane Digby’s Diary offers a compelling account of the life of a woman who truly lived all for love. In this opening volume to the series, we are introduced to Jane at seventeen. Spoiled and charming, she seems destined for the privileged life of a well-bred Englishwoman. Her early marriage to Lord Ellenborough begins as a love match until one of the greatest scandals of the Regency era destroys her future, or so it would seem. Jane is nothing if not resilient.

In To Begin, Begin,Jane tells her story in diary form, as if she is speaking to a friend, creating an intimate and compulsively readable look at her life and her times. Will she find the true love and freedom she so desires? There is only one way to find out. Come join her on her path to a life well lived.

A provocative manifesto that challenges the false notion of “coexistence” between Arabs and Jews in Israel and offers a groundbreaking blueprint for a truly shared society.

In this moving memoir, lifelong activist Shuli Dichter traces his own ideological transformation From an Israeli kibbutznik who as a Jew was raised to be a master of the Promised Land, to someone who now seeks complete and full equality for Jews and Arabs there. In twelve moving stories and six powerful reflections, Dichter takes readers along the bumpy path that is required for shaping fair and equal relations between Israel’s Jewish and Arab citizens. His insights and conclusions stem from his decades of daily experience as a Jew practicing partnership with Arab colleagues in the realm of civil society organizations.

Following a thorough and painful examination of the first century of Jewish-Arab relations, he suggests a profound conceptual change of Zionism, one that would draw on some of the valuable lessons learned by Diaspora Jewy in living among the nations. This transformation, Dichter argues, is a vital condition for the future of collective Jewish life in Israel.

Can Israel learn from this account? Can Diaspora Jews reshape their view of Israel after years of being shown a reality that never really existed?
