About the Author
Chaim Potok was born and raised in New York City. He graduated summa cum laude from Yeshiva University and earned a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania. An ordained rabbi, Chaim Potok is the author of many novels, including The Chosen, My Name Is Asher Lev, and I Am the Clay.
From the Inside Flap
"In six quietly powerful stories, Potok explores varieties of inner and outer healing, both in individuals and families: 'Zebra' begins to regain use of his crushed hand and leg creating art assigned by an intinerant teacher; 'Isabel' finds unexpected solace in the company of her new stepsister. In the collection's haunting centerpiece, 'Nava' uses her father's experiences in war, and his connection with a Navajo healer, to fend off a frighteningly persistent drug dealer. The families represented are all middle-class or upper-middle-class, but the relationships, the feelings of loss, grief, regret, hope, and relief are universal; readers sensitive to nuances of language and situation will be totally absorbed by these profound character studies."--Kirkus Reviews, Pointer
