This “stunningly original” debut novel follows a complex man on a journey of salvation after tragedy (The Jerusalem Post).
 
Shortly after Orthodox Jewish Brooklynite Jacob Fischer puts his young family on a bus to visit relatives, the bus explodes in a horrifying act of terrorism. His faith shattered, Jacob flees the comforts of his community and disappears. He lands up in a predominantly black town in rural Alabama, where he meets Rosie, the single mother of a young son. Their developing relationship—along with the rekindling of his love of music—precipitates events that will change both their lives.

“An enjoyable, optimistic novel about how people—despite cultural, religious and racial differences—can find comfort in each other’s common humanity. It makes for very fine reading.” —San Diego Jewish World
