{"product_id":"a-promise-called-home-efrat-israeli-9798242559622","title":"A Promise Called Home","description":"What happens when a single decision threatens to unravel a long and loving marriage?\u003cbr\u003eRuth Kagan has built what looks like a perfect life: a devoted husband who's a successful physician, two wonderful children, a comfortable home, and a PhD in sociology underway. But after years in Dallas, she finds herself haunted by a longing for her homeland, Israel, and struggling to hold on to the promise of the American Dream she and her husband once shared.\u003cbr\u003eTorn between family obligations and self-fulfillment, between the pull of her homeland and the life she's made across the ocean, Ruth embarks on a journey to understand where she truly belongs - and whether love can endure when dreams diverge. \u003cbr\u003eThe Kagan family embodies both the allure and the disillusionment of the American Dream. In vivid, finely observed prose, Efrat Israeli portrays a marriage at a crossroads - caught between love and estrangement, Israel and America - where the yearning to belong is as fragile as it is enduring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEfrat Israeli was born and raised in Jerusalem and has since made her home in both Tel Aviv and Dallas, Texas. She holds a law degree from Tel Aviv University and a master's degree in sociology from the University of Texas at Dallas. \u003cbr\u003eShe published two more novels in English: Her Promised Road (2014) - inspired by the early life of Golda Meir, and Waiting for His Return (2025) - a moving portrayal of a family waiting for their son's return from captivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Efrat Israeli\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798242559622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.71d","brand":"Efrat Israeli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49171499286783,"sku":"9798242559622","price":16.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-promise-called-home-efrat-israeli-9798242559622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
