It was amazing!

A fabulous sequel to Please Say Kaddish For Me. This one continues the story of Havah and Arel, Nikolai, Ulrich and members of the Gitterman family. As in the first book, all is not rosy. It is a most difficult transition from Pogrom-torn Russia to racist-United States.

I do not want to go into any detail as I would hate to spoil this for any future readers but must say there were cringe-worthy moments – Rochelle does have a knack for describing horror in detail – and there were most beautiful ones.

There are characters I would like to smack and others I want to hold tight and comfort. Signs of a most satisfying and engrossing read. I tried to take my time reading it as I did not want it to end and must console myself with the knowledge that the story is not over and will continue in the up-coming As One Must, One Can.

I read Please Say Kaddish For Me in less than 3 days. I carried my Kindle with me to breakfast, to lunch break at work and after supper so I could read the book. It is a good historical fiction. The characters were very real to me……I could related many of them to my large extended family. I felt the fear, anger, love and hope of her characters as I read each page. The horrors that occurred to them in Russia are similar to the ones that happened to my Native family here in the U.S. You can tell the author did her homework in researching the history of the Russian Jewish life during the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

I believe God wants you to know…
…that nobody needs your help.    

I know, I know…this is a difficult one. But it is true. Yet
this does not mean no one wants your help, or that no one
could use your help. It simply means the thought that another
Aspect of Divinity is powerless without you is inaccurate.
Do not do something, therefore, because you think someone
else needs you. That only builds resentment. Do whatever
you do as a means of deciding, declaring, creating, and
experiencing who you are–and who you choose to be. Then
you will never feel victimized, powerless, or without choice.
Yes? You see how simple it all is? Get out of victimhood.
  
Love,  Your Friend …
