Beverly's first novel, FLYING OUT OF BROOKLYN, was an insightful look at the summer of 1943, during World War 2 in Brooklyn, which dramatically changed a young woman's life. Her second novel, SOWN IN TEARS, garnered great reviews. Set in Russia, 1905, it is about a young woman, Leah Peretz, who survives an attack on her village and must find ways to protect and care for her young children, while discovering a new path for her own life.
