BETHEL, Conn., Sept. 26, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- There is a Hebrew myth that says when a perfect red cow comes to Jerusalem, strange things will begin to happen. One occurrence involves the resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

'Waiting for the Red Cow' is a timely book of historical fiction that takes the reader from the founding of Israel to today's news. Not every Israeli and Palestinian wants to see the red cow come, and many plot to avoid the consequences of its arrival. Over the years, we follow the main characters, Sarah, Tyszka, Judith, and Asher, as well as 'Jonah the Jew,' a much maligned old man who speaks the truth about the cruelties wrought by both sides. 'What you have done is wrong' is all he ever says as he believes that diplomatic and political words 'cover the  blood.'

Could a red cow cause an incident with repercussions that would be felt around the world? You'll be surprised.
