Lois Larkey has been fascinated by stories and history since she was four and listening to family tell tales at the dinner table. As a teenager visiting Europe and Israel, she met people whose stories expanded her undertanding. She wrote in her journal about the challenges they faced and what personal characteristics saw them through hard times.
Twenty-five years of teaching taught Lois about children, and giving birth to her own daughters was the most interesting experience of all. As Lois continued to write vignettes, she contemplated a larger work as a family legacy.
When Lois turned seventy, she started to write the seminal moments that comprise a life with the idea of a collection for succeeding generations. Remembering one thing led to another. Looking back, she realized she had the strength to move forward, to face the challenges of aging, to survive loss and changing relationships, to look toward another rewarding quarter century.

Описание: 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 Israels 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.
