Master storyteller, Chava Rosenberg, weaves a story so real and so close that it draws the reader in to its very core. A mother's soul departs this world just as her newborn infant's soul enters. How will this child grow up without the nurturing touch of a mother? From the broken shards of tragedy to the strident cries of triumph and even joy, this novel, with its cast of expertly drawn, true-to-life characters, is poignant and satisfying--good to the last drop!
