Fierce, original and bracingly honest, Ami Sands Brodoff writes with passionate skill about nine closely linked Jewish characters who walk the tightrope of survival. Troubled teens and an experienced psychiatrist, a truck driver scarred by a near-fatal accident and a recreation therapist struggle to build a community and make their lives – and their deaths – meaningful. Fierce, original, and bracingly honest, this novel speaks to the author’s Jewish heritage and the power of family legacies and secrets.
