October Fire 10. New York Stories
The impact of the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 was felt around the world, but in few places more than in New York City. Not only is New York home to the second-largest Jewish population in the world, but it’s home to peoples of many cultures, including a large Arab American population. In my New York Stories, New York Holidays and New York Anthologies series, I’ve introduced characters who might well have been in Israel at the time of the attack. October Fire is a 6-part story about Jewish and Palestinian New Yorkers who persevered in the face of hate.
Some major characters will find themselves in harm’s way in Israel on October 7 and come face-to-face with violence, sexual abuse and hostage-taking. Further violence will occur in the aftermath of October 7. Some scenes may be graphic, but no more so than is commonly depicted on Prime Time television.
