September 1916.
Six months after joining the army, eighteen-year-old Jake Shapiro and his friends find themselves in the Somme region of France. It is here that Jake is confronted with the realities of war. It is here that Jake decides that the only way he’ll make it through the war is by putting his faith in Hashem.

November, 2018.
It’s been a century since the Allies defeated Germany and forced them to sign the Armistice. For twenty-eight-year-old Esther, this date is important. Esther has a passion for history – and family history in particular.
