A Poignant, Non-Violent Literary Work

Unlike many stories set during war, Girls on the Wall contains no violence – reading almost like a play or the script behind the film Golda. It ends just as the October 7th attack begins, preserving the dignity of the fallen and the moral gravity of the moment.

The story is told in a quiet style and follows a group of nine young female soldiers monitoring Israel’s southern border. Through subtle foreshadowing, sharp character sketches, and a reflective tone, the book portrays a world where these girls issued countless warnings that were constantly ignored by authority figures. Their courage went unrewarded and by morning the country asked, how could this have happened.

It is suitable for thoughtful readers 14 and up. It ends just before the assault begins.

From Distributor to Author: A Legacy of Bearing Witness-
This is not Newman’s first encounter with stories of war and moral reckoning. He previously served as the U.S. distributor of All My Loved Ones—the acclaimed Czech-Slovak film about Sir Nicholas Winton, the British stockbroker who, on the eve of World War II, saved more than 600 Jewish children from the horrors of the Holocaust through the famous Kindertransport. His heroic mission—long unsung until he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth—was brought to life, starring Rupert Graves, which the author theatrically distributed in the United States.

Prescient… and Now Confirmed
Three days after the Hamas invasion, Newman published an article on MrsVanderbilt.com titled “Unlock the Enigma: Double Agents and the Surprise Attack on Israel.” That piece, rooted in the fictional intelligence narrative of Girls on the Wall, described in striking detail how Israeli commanders had been misled by a Hamas mole—well before this scenario was confirmed by authorities.

In May 2025, it was officially reported that a Shin Bet informant in Gaza—a mid-level Hamas official—had been operating as a double agent. His false assurances to Israeli intelligence helped delay alerts in the hours before the October 7 assault, and his deception is now considered a central cause of Israel’s intelligence failure.

Newman’s article predicted this exact sequence of events. It now stands as one of the earliest public warnings that Israel’s top brass had been tricked—just three days after the attack, and over 18 months before the truth came to light.


This Book Is For:

• Readers of Night, The Rainmaker, or The Kite Runner
• Anyone seeking to understand October 7—not as a moment, but as a failure- decades in the making
• Those who believe the hostages must be released and the war must end, but who also demand the truth of how this began

Important Note:
The book contains no violence and ends before the massacre begins. It is a literary work of remembrance, not sensationalism. Its emotional power lies in its restraint—and its uncanny simplicity.
