Today, they live in the Holy Land with their three children. She continues to be a writer while he is the parish priest of the Syriac Catholic Church in Bethlehem. She has written three books: What We Remember Will Be Saved: A Story of Refugees and the Things They Carry, The Bread of Angels: A Journey to Love and Faith and A Country Between: Making a Home Where Both Sides of Jerusalem Collide.
