Book excerpt: Memoir tracing three generations of a Jewish family from the 1800's in Eastern Europe to present-day America. In researching and writing her family history, the author explores the challenges her family faced in the course of emigrating from Europe to America before World War II and assimilating into American culture. Her story deals with themes that are at once personal and universal: being the only girl, feeling like an outsider, struggling with her Jewish identity, assimilating into American culture, coping with the death of a parent, and raising a family of her own.
