LIVONIA, Mich. - s4story -- Finding Myself by debut author Olga Sushinsky is a women's contemporary fiction novel set against the backdrop of Israel and archaeology.

Rebecca O'Connor-Smith just wants something more. Struggling to maintain a healthy relationship with her husband, over-protective family, and roommates, she secretly longs for adventure. When an opportunity to join an archaeological dig in southern Israel arises, she grabs it. Torn between a secure, comfortable life with a man she loves and a challenging, exciting academic career with no guarantees about her future, Rebecca must choose what kind of life she wants to live for herself.

"I find Israeli culture fascinating. While politics does play a major role in my novel, it's not the focal point," says Olga Sushinsky when asked about her inspiration for the novel. "Rebecca's story takes place during the summer of 2014, when the conflict with Gaza flared up, causing several archaeological digs in the southern region to become relocated to safer areas."
