Watch as best-selling Israeli novelist, activist and photojournalist Lihi Lapid discusses her recently translated book, On Her Own, with Hadassah Magazine Executive Editor Lisa Hostein.

The gripping novel weaves a distinctly Israeli tale about women from different segments of society while exploring the universal intricacies of family relationships and the persistence of love and hope.

Lapid, a prominent advocate for people with disabilities who is married to former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid, talks about her advocacy work and what it’s like to publish a novel in the middle of a war.
