She’s American-Israeli. He’s Palestinian. They fell in love and navigated a universe of complications. Then, in 2023, a new war. Conflict, violence, and devastation rocked the world. Echos of trauma from decades past. Mya Guarnieri tells the story of how she met her now ex-husband, fell in love, and, in 2023, became each other's best support system, as exes, when they needed each other most.
