About the Book:
Rivke Zilberg, a 20-year-old Jewish woman, arrives in New York after the Nazi invasion of Poland. As she struggles to adapt to a new language and life, she keeps a journal detailing her experiences. Rivke shares her grief over losing her mother in a bombing, her decision to end a relationship with a fiancé in Palestine, and her flirtation with an American man. In this fictionalized journal first published in Yiddish, author Kadya Molodovsy provides insight into the immigrant Jewish community in New York, highlighting the social and cultural tensions faced by Jewish refugees during WWII.
