The kibbutz asked them to stay. 26 years and 3 children later, she is still teaching English and has been writing in the past few years. Her first book, Facets of the Poet, came out in 2001. Her book Trapped Inside the Story, a true account of a holocaust survivor, has been published by Level 4 Press.
