Third book in a loose trilogy about Jack Muir, following from BOY ON A WIRE and TO THE HIGHLANDS. Jack Muir is a restless adventurer, an idealist and dreamer. Escaping his stifling country town, he jumps ship to hitchhike South Africa at the height of apartheid and hate, then flees to a kibbutz in Israel where he finds love in a time of war. It is the unexpected gift of two mothers that will change the course of his life - and it is the pilgrimage old Jack makes that allows him to reunite with his kibbutznik brothers and to understand the true meaning of love at journey's end.
