Crooked Lines: A Single Mom's Jewish Journey Tekijä: Jenna Zark
I loved this memoir - it was a beautiful, and sometime difficult journey through some major life changes. I loved the contrast between religion and faith and the more secular side of life. Furthermore, I didn't know much about the Jewish faith going in, but I didn't feel like that was a hindrance when reading this.

The Beat on Ruby's Street is for the lack of a better word, powerful. I know what the synopsis said, but I was not prepared for the depth and breadth of experiences and emotions that washed over me in waves as I read this. I'm 32 years old as I write this, and I know this book is accessible to middle grade readers, but also enjoyable for readers of all ages. I never lived in the 50s, but I felt like I was walking those streets with Ruby, hearing, seeing, smelling everything she did. Absolutely brilliant.… (lisätietoja)
Fool's Errand brings history alive. A dark time in American history, the witch hunts surrounding the fear of Communism. Told through the eyes of Ruby, a brilliant girl who will draw you into her life as if it were your own. The second book in the series, Ruby hasn't missed a beat (pun a little intended). Her spunk and smarts and loyalty are all that stands between her best friend and ruin. A brilliant adventure that will transport you back to historic NY.
