Description from the back cover: A Jewish G.I. - and the girl who might HATE HIM!When the soldier came into the restaurant Kathe felt it was no accident, he came because she was waiting. He had come alone, with no one to show him, directly to her, and he looked at her with love... Her soldier had come suddenly and he would go suddenly, she was sure of that...He had only a little time - she saw this in his eyes.God will not punish us, Kathe thought, let them say what they want, I don't care. I know it is not wicked. We have no time...She would wait for him inside the big street door and they would go up the stairs hand in hand and not make a sound.Kathe didn't know her soldier was Jewish - that their love would have to battle hatred and prejudice. The real test was coming - would she have the courage to meet it?
