"This book is the prayer of hope during the terrible days of war that we lived through in the summer of 2006. It is a Diary with daily entries written by a mother who struggles and strives to give courage to other mothers... During my life I have devoted my energies to education to dialogue, diversity as a cultural value and peace through the arts [...]
While the delirium of the war rages around me, daughter of an ancient Roman Jewish family [...] I have to resort to all of my internal strength, to all of my imagination and patience, to be able to continue my task and nurture trust in life. I have four children and, in that summer, two of them were doing their military service. [...]
Like a charm I am helped by an old friend, journalist of "La Repubblica", who asks me to write my feelings as a mother, an educator and as a woman in those days of anxiety: thus the Diary from the Galilee came to life."
