Journalist David Horovitz describes his life in Israel since his emigration from England in 1983. Throughout the text, he struggles with the conflict between the dangers and benefits of raising his family in Israel. He describes the effects of Rabin's assassination, the incursions of the ultra-Orthodox into daily life, the anxieties of parents as their children approach the age of mandatory military service, and the constant fear of violent attack by fundamentalist extremists.
