Just released! A Stone for the Journey by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields!

A Stone for the Journey by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields is the companion coffee table book for the Havah Gitterman series — Please Say Kaddish For Me, From Silt and Ashes, and As One Must, One Can Havah Cohen Gitterman’s journey from 1899 to 1909 is chronicled in Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’ critically acclaimed novels Please Say Kaddish for Me, From Silt and Ashes, and As One Must, One Can. Following her survival of the pogroms of Eastern Europe to her immigration to the United States, Havah’s saga is an unforgettable story of courage and love in the face of insurmountable struggles. For art lovers who enjoyed Havah’s trilogy, Wisoff-Fields’ coffee table book, A Stone for the Journey, is the perfect companion, replete with novel excerpts that coincide with original illustrations by the author, bringing words to life. For those who haven’t read the series, the art will whet the appetite to learn more about Havah and the true history behind the series.

Barefoot, wearing only a flimsy nightgown, sixteen-year-old Havah Cohen alone escapes the brutal massacre by the Czarist tyranny that destroys her home and slaughters her family on a frigid November night in 1899.

Love ignited, lost, and found, insurmountable struggles and challenges, Kishinev’s Jewish pogroms and all odds against them, Havah and her soul mate, Arel, withstand the storms of life in this unforgettable story of a time and place rarely spoken of, and romance and courage so profound as to be rarely experienced.

From Kishinev to Kansas City, Wisoff-Fields takes us to a time and place, through an atrocity we are not taught in school via vivid, majestic prose and tumultuous emotions.

A Stone for the Journey is a compilation and visualization of the people, places, and events in the trilogy, bringing the stories alive as seen by the author who gives us a glimpse into the scene from which the painting originates. A special gift unto itself, having the trilogy and its companion is priceless.
