Synopsis
For Davita Chandal, growing up in the New York of the 1930s and '40s is an experience of joy and sadness. Her loving parents, both fervent radicals, fill her with the fiercely bright hope of a new and better world. But as the deprivations of war and depression take a ruthless toll, Davita unexpectedly turns to the Jewish faith that her mother had long ago abandoned, finding there both a solace for her questioning inner pain and a test of her budding spirit of independence.

Review
"Rich . . . enchanting . . . [Chaim] Potok's bravest book."--The New York Times Book Review
"It is an enormous pleasure to sink into such a rich . . . solidly written novel. The reader knows from the first few pages that he is in the hands of a sure professional who won't let him down."--People "Engrossing . . . Filled with a host of richly drawn characters. Potok is a master storyteller."--Chicago Tribune "Gripping and intriguing . . . A well-told tale that needed telling."--The Philadelphia InquirerAbout the Author
