Peacekeeper’s Daughter: a Middle East Memoir

Tanya Bellehumeur-Allatt

Peacekeeper’s Daughter is the astonishing story of a French-Canadian military family stationed in Israel and Lebanon in 1982-83. Told from the perspective of a twelve-year-old girl, Peacekeeper’s Daughter parachutes the reader into the Lebanese Civil War, the Palestinian crisis and the wave of terrorism—including the bombing of the American Embassy—that ravaged Beirut at the height of the siege.  This novelistic memoir moves from Jerusalem to Tiberius, from the disputed No-Man’s Land of the Golan Heights to Damascus, and on to Beirut by way of Tripoli, crossing borders that remain closed to this day.
