A young woman and an American-Israeli soldier meet at a caf? in Jerusalem, enjoy each others' company, and fall in love. Upon her return to America, they begin writing letters back and forth. Eventually they meet again. Their story is sweet, simple, and breathtakingly beautiful, but in the background, the unrest in Israel foreshadows and finally demands the ultimate sacrifice. This is a tragic love story set just before the Six-Day War involving two young Americans -- and representing, in effect, the tragic end of the Zionist dream itself, perhaps too fragile in its purity and innocence to endure.
