The situation is desperate. Only a miracle can save them now. But will it come too late?
It's Passover eve, and the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem is being starved into submission. Arab forces hold the only road into the Old City-the village of Kastel and the narrow, twisting, rocky pass of Bab el Wad.
If Haganah leader Moshe Sachar and his men can't capture and hold the pass tonight, long enough for the Jewish Agency's food convoy to get through, people will die.
As Moshe approaches Kastel, he has no idea that his beloved Rachel will have to make her own dangerous journey-through the Arab stronghold of Sheikh Jarrah. Or that their baby, Tikvah, will be fighting for her life at Hadassah Hospital. As the Mufti vows to drive all Jews into the sea, David and Ellie Meyer search the Mediterranean for a freighter loaded with weapons for the Muslim Jihad. But will this last-ditch effort come in time to save the Jewish nation?
Special Feature: Study questions suitable for individual use or group discussion.
