故事背景：二次大戰後，家破人亡的十三歲波蘭籍Dov Zalinski決定前往耶路撒冷，希望能夠與分開多年的母親會合，只是母親生死未卜，再加上英國人食言而肥，三十年前的《貝爾福宣言》居然不算數，1917年正式宣佈了英國內閣通過的決議 ，支持猶太人在巴勒斯坦建立猶太人「民族之家」，三十年後的1947年英國人封鎖巴勒祖斯坦，不但禁止各地猶太難民回到應許之地，私底下還訓練阿拉伯軍隊，並提供武器鼓勵他們殺死猶太人。

Book 1 in a series of 6
A search for a homeland in a world darkened by war…
Dov Zalinski has nothing left in the ruins of World War 2—only the promise his mother made when she left him at a Warsaw orphanage: “I’ll come back for you, and together we’ll go to Jerusalem.” Seven hard years later, she still hasn’t returned.
On the hope that she and the rest of his family have somehow survived the terrible Nazi death camps and went on ahead of him, the thirteen-year-old sets out alone for the Promised Land. Dov is determined to be with his family again… even if it means risking his life to do it.
Emily Parkinson has it all as the spoiled only child of a British major stationed in 1947 Jerusalem. Her cozy, perfect world has cushioned her from the always-present danger that haunts the people of Palestine—until now. Tensions between Arab and Jew are growing fast as ships of illegal Jewish immigrants try to break through the British barricade. Now, not even Emily’s father will be able to protect her from what she is about to face.
