A stop is made to examine the companionship and comfort of a romantic relationship in the life of a single senior citizen. Pride in one's religious heritage is encouraged and reinforced with poems derived from the Old Testament and Jewish holidays. The book culminates with a heartfelt, patriotic rendition of William Blake's "Jerusalem" -- this time set in America ("New Jerusalem").
