World War II is ending. The enemy is advancing. In the far north-eastern reaches of the Empire, the German citizens are terrified. The victorious Russian army is determined to sweep the area clean of German settlement and reports of atrocities are reaching the farmers of the village of Rucken in the Memelland. Franz, Helena and their two teen-age daughters must flee before the arrival of the Russians. Leaving everything except what could be packed onto their farm wagon they travel west to escape death. Now they must struggle along overcrowded roads, evade falling artillery shells and the strafing of screaming fighter planes, bear biting hunger and suffer the freezing winter in an attempt to stay ahead of destruction. Amidst this terror and death they find that there are those who have not lost their humanity and are happy to help them in their struggle towards safety. But will this alone suffice? This story is based on the experiences of an actual family who hopes to see the dawn of a new day in areas conquered by more humane victors.

Theological student, Andrew, is recovering from a cancer scare, and with his longtime friend is persuaded to join a Holy Land tour. They visit places which ring a loud Christian bell and others which evoke a mere tinkle. During the tour it becomes apparent that although all members of the party are there because of their Christian beliefs, there is a wide range of interpretations and reactions to the places that they visit. This causes a little unrest within the touring party which causes Pastor Paul, the spiritual leader of the group,some anxiety.Flashbacks to earlier times present historical settings for many of the places visited and extracts from Andrew's personal diary give a more intimate indication of how the tour is affecting him.A journey to the Holy Land, searching for the footsteps of Jesus, may strengthen an individual's faith; but then again, it may not. What will these modern-day pilgrims discover, and how will they 'pull up'? More importantly, will the rather good-looking Israeli tour guide help in any way?
