“Long-time Beverly Hills resident Robert Ellis, a former war correspondent and Ebony magazine editor, has released his first novel – Courage to Love.
Torn from current headlines, the story is about love during the war in the Middle East.
It tells of an American Israeli lieutenant from South Carolina and a teenage Palestinian freedom fighter living in the Gaza Strip.
Under the spell of music during a Mideast hospital attack, they are thrown together and are attracted to each other.
As their budding love grows, the youngsters are forced to contend with their serious wounds, their different religious upbringings, and the stern commands of their families.
Ellis said it had taken him the past five years to write.
“The story unites these people in a scientific way and a biblical way,” Ellis said, a resident of Beverly Hills for more than 40 years.
“It’s a very human story. Quite idealistically, the boy thinks that he’s defending his parents after 9/11 by enlisting in the Israeli army and giving up college thinking he’s going to bring peace.
