Summary

Should you trust your intuition when it comes to love? This memoir recounts the remarkable true story of how a chance meeting on a Jerusalem bus led to a marriage, just 10 days later, that thrived for 38 years. This is the account of their unlikely 1983 meeting in Israel, an unplanned honeymoon adventure in Europe, and the improvised first year living together in Jerusalem, working and studying at Hadassah Hospital and the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus.

Through their story and in letters to and from friends and family, we experience the questions, struggles, tragedies, wonder, and humor in every life; and the ultimate merging of two independent and strong-willed souls. The story takes them from Israel, west to Europe and the Northeast US, to Colorado, Seattle, and ultimately, to Bellingham, near Vancouver, BC.

This is a story of how the young couple managed to open their hearts and turn their lives in a new and previously unimagined direction. On the way, they learned about communication, compromise, and forgiveness. It is a story of the inexplicable coincidences that can change the trajectory of our lives and open doors to happiness and peace. This memoir could restore your faith in humanity, religion, and the power of love.
