You Are Allowed tells the story of Esther, a young woman living in a kibbutz in southern Israel, who embarks on a journey to Paris in search of her biological mother, who abandoned her at birth. Fueled by the belief that reconnecting with her birth mother will provide the answers she’s been searching for and fill the void she’s felt her entire life. Through careful and precise writing, You Are Allowed takes readers through the turbulent pieces of Esther’s life journey: her childhood in France, a relationship with an Israeli woman that exposes her to a world of crime and danger, an unplanned pregnancy, and a seemingly routine life in Israel filled with secrets and old wounds.
