Shoham's Bangle

When Shoham and her family must leave Iraq, they are allowed to take only one suitcase each. They may take no jewellery. Shoham has the important job of carrying Nana?́?s homemade pita bread, which Nana says they will eat when they get to Israel. But when they finally arrive and it is time to eat, Shoham bites into something hard inside the pita bread.
