Author's note

Prologue: Where's Waldo?

Part I: The before. The beginning

Aunt Nameless

The end of the before

Death in Tehran

Part II: The after. I remember. I don't remember

Screaming into Gaza

The end

This hallway

Burying myself

Shiva

Part III: Lost in the after. The ugly beginning

Shabbat

The fact of Sisyphus

Hershsickness

Hersh's words

Death in Tel Sultan

Just four words

Finally meeting light

Part IV: Still the after. Hiding and seeking

Dreams

Snapshots from the before

Swimming across the world

Book club with ghosts

Father Abraham

Part V: The ever after. Mapping the new world

Friendly skies

Jarring hope

The world didn't change them

Relief

The city of hope

A match made in heaven

When we see you again
