Hot off the press!

Thank you so much to my publisher Gloria Mindock who was kind enough to send me a photo of the first copy of White Zion. Right now I have a White Zion giveaway on Goodreads.  Join me! 

And here's a new review from author Tara Lynn Masih:

Gila Green has assembled a wonderful, atmospheric collage that depicts a family's historical journey from 1800s Yemen to Israel to Canada. These stories are filled with rich, evocative details and startling moments captured in her fluid prose. One example:

"All I remember of my grandmother's house was her doll collection. I was five and overweight from too much Kentucky Fried chicken, dripping with the honey they'd give you in those bite-sized plastic containers, and I was as shy as any fat kid in a foreign country. I remember a room with low ceilings and walls that felt too close together, and an ancient woman, who covered her hair and neck with a night-blue scarf, opening the thin wooden doors to a closet which was filled with the dolls she had spent many years collecting. I cannot remember any specific doll; I see only a jumble of bright eyes and plastic grins of different shapes and sizes in neat dusted rows. My grandmother was pointing at the dolls and smiling down at me, and I hope I smiled back, but honest to God I don't remember. I know that chances are I stood like my own young daughter often does when confronted with a stranger: shrugging a shoulder up to one ear, mouth ajar, eyes unnaturally wide. I hope not. I hope I made her smile that one and only time."

I'm so honored and grateful for this. Please let me know what you think of White Zion on Goodreads, Amazon, or in the comments below.
