In October 2012, writer Matthew Small travelled to the Holy Land in want to further his understanding of the enduring conflict between Israel and Palestine.
In these honest and evocative reflections, Small retells his experiences of crossing into the West Bank to work on the olive harvest with Palestinian farmers; he relates his encounters with organisations who are determinedly working to sow the seeds of peace in soils that are deeply scared by suffering and war; and what's more, he struggles to find, through writing, why this wall between these two people persists.
Joining with a group of international and Israeli volunteers, Small attempts to show that, despite the on-going occupation, peace is not lost, but simply still to be discovered.
