Yoram (Richie) Friedman moves to Israel with his and 10-year-old son during the aftermath of the victorious Six Day War in 1967. Initially seduced by the beauty of the Galilean landscape, the family settles on a mountaintop kibbutz in northern Israel, overlooking a frontier still fraught with uncertainty. In October 1973, that uncertainty was dramatically clarified as Syrian war planes signaled Israel's next and most costly war with her Arab neighbors—the Yom Kippur War. The ensuing trauma strengthens Yoram's idealistic ties to the land, but his wife and son return to the United States. Although Yoram is devastated, he tightly holds his Zionistic dream of participating in the rebuilding of the Jewish nation.After almost a quarter of a century, the silence from his family is broken by an unexpected letter form his 12-year-old grandson—a new boy scout and budding adventurer. Their ensuing pen-pal relationship bonds the two, allowing the reader to follow along as the adventures of the past blend with the present day in a healing love story that spans generations.

It was during the euphoric aftermath of Israels victorious Six Day War in 1967, that Yoram (Richie) Friedman uprooted his wife and ten-year-old son from the good life; in the States, to settle on a picturesque border kibbutz in Northern Israel. In October 1973, the reality of their seemingly idyllic new home comes into sharp relief as Syrian war planes fly menacingly overhead, signaling the beginning of Israel's next (and most costly) war with its Arab neighbors the Yom Kippur War. The trauma of that horrific conflict somehow strengthens Yorams Zionist ideals of helping to rebuild the Jewish homeland, but his wife and son reject his lofty principles and decide to return to the States, resulting in a wrenching silence from both sides of the ocean lasting almost a quarter century. Then one day, Yoram receives an unexpected letter from his twelve-year-old grandson a new Boy Scout and budding adventurer. Their ensuing pen-pal relationship brings about a special bond between grandpa and grandson, as adventures of the past intermingle with present day events in a compelling and healing love story spanning the generations.
