The Dog of Knots

In Haifa, Israel at the onset of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, nine-year-old Mayim struggles to find her voice amidst the tumult of war. Having lost her father in the Six Day War, she seeks courage from her mother, from her great aunt, from the woman across the street, and from an ancient stray dog. She finds, instead, that it is they who need courage from her.
