Oasis

by Sarah Kisner

Who doesn't dream of a vacation from the pressures of everyday life? The Oasis Hotel had it all: private beach, pools, lectures, spas, and fabulous views - unsurpassed luxury on the Dead Sea. And yet, even here, in an isolated corner of Israel, pressures remain. Jealousies, slights, memories, and politics all come together in a confined space, simmering dangerously within the hearts of the vacationers, secular American and Chareidi Israeli alike. It's a cauldron of emotions - and that's before the terrorist threat... By bestselling novelist Sarah Kisner, author of With this Ring, Chocolate Liqueur and Race to the Top.

Everyone’s traveled to escape their problems; when their troubles follow them, it’s time to make mends. Chareidi and secular travelers are dismayed to find themselves sharing accommodations at their Dead Sea tourist programs. Tensions flare between stubborn guests, passionate activists, and a bitter manager - until one bewildering teen goes missing, with only a missing guitar as a clue. A fast-paced drama about mending broken connections.
