“Other writers have related the brave stories of Jewish
immigrant pioneers who made their way from tiny villages in
Eastern Europe to the vast open spaces and new possibilities
of the American West, but Ruhama Veltfort, in her impressive
first novel, recasts the tale in a spiritual dimension.”
— Sandee Brawarsky, The New York
Times Book Review
“... Veltfort has gone beyond following tradition here
and instead has created what many in the book business have
hoped for but thought impossible: a novel true to both literary
and spiritual traditions.”
— Mardi Link, ForeWord
“This is a rich and rewarding novel, a tapestry of many
closely interwoven themes, including religious identity, faith
and doubt, tradition and innovation, exile and return. It's
a poignant portrait of an extraordinary marriage.”
— Merle Rubin, The Christian Science
Monitor
