Overview
Since losing her family in a pogrom, Havah Gitterman has already seen the worst of humanity. But at last, she and her husband Arel have made it to Kansas City, thanks to Havahās benefactor. Though haunted by friends and family they have lostāand those left behindāthe couple hopes to make a new beginning, especially since Havah is pregnant.
But some traditions are hard to change. Havah studies the Torah in Hebrew and considers teaching it to other girls, much to the chagrin of those still clinging to the old ways. And when Havah gives birth to a daughter who is blind, Arelās dismay shocks Havah, threatening their marriage.
Havah will learn that even in the New World, prejudice and hate thrive in the shadows, and some wounds will never heal. But with perseverance and faith, Havah will find her way and set an example for her daughter, her community, and generations to comeĀ .Ā .Ā .
