Welcome, friends!
Gittel, my debut middle-grade novel, releases in two days and I can’t wait for you to read it! Not a middle-grader? No worries. Gittel is perfect for readers age 12 to adult.
Here's what the reviews have to say:
"Thirteen-year-old Gittel comes of age and realizes her potential in this...evocative novel saturated in her Jewish heritage, the importance of family, and the power of hope.... Gittel provides a unique conversation about community through a historical-fiction lens that invites connection to the modern day." —Booklist
"An original, skillfully crafted, emotionally engaging...coming-of-age tale of hardship, prejudice, hope, and happy endings...." —Midwest Book Review
"Gittel and her family are characters that will be remembered long after one finishes reading." —Jewish Book Council
