Inhaltsangabe

For twenty years the residents of Kibbutz Gesher Haziv, just a few kilometers south of the Lebanese border, have been caught in the crosshairs of the Lebanese and Hezbollah artillery. There is a beautiful beach not far away, and the valley around the kibbutz holds fields of wheat as well as groves of banana, avocado. and persimmon trees. As one tourist put it: "On a normal day you would think you had found the Garden of Eden."
The author lives on this kibbutz as do the people interviewed in this book. During the Second Lebanon War, which lasted just 34 days, dozens of katyusha rockets rained down on the kibbutz. The families refused to move and exemplified the unwavering spirit of the Israeli people as they faced an unstoppable barrage of missiles.
The author's daily diary, and her interviews with the stalwarts who stayed in the kibbutz during those fearful days, gives us an awe-inspiring glimpse of the unwavering spirit of the Israeli people as they faced an unstoppable barrage of missiles. This first person account goes beyond the war, into the days after the cease fire when the residents of Kibbutz Gesher Haziv began rebuilding their homes and their lives.
