I dedicate this book to every man, woman, and child struggling for freedom, peace, and justice.   My hope is that Jerusalem Spring will open their minds to see not just their struggle but the struggles of others as well.

I made every effort to treat the characters and issues in my story evenhandedly.  My heart goes out to every victim of every conflict and I blame myself for not doing enough to work for peace.  I stand accused with the rest of humanity for not caring enough.

I dedicate this book to my children, and to every child throughout the world with the hope that we adults will give them a better place to live.
