The novel brings to life the birth of the State of Israel, as well as the horrors and dangers of growing up in a conflict zone, through the eyes of one courageous woman. Artifacts from the author’s collection, including one-of-a-kind Yeminite, Arab and Bedouin dresses, will be on display at the event.

Neiman is a writer, event producer and public relations professional. She based Born Under Fire on the true story of her mother, Shulamit Dubno Neiman, a Sabra, a musician, and one of the first generation of modern-day Israelis.
