Compelling. Loved the ride even though the memories were deplorable. Truth in fiction. Superbly written. I’ll look for more.

I have met Peninnah Schram. I have attended her workshops. I have listened to her stories and own books she has authored. But I didn’t know Peninnah until I read this book. This point of view can only come from hours of intimate conversation. Discovering her family and professional backgrounds, the times and places allowed me to better understand the why and how of her oral and written stories with new insight. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in Jewish stories and storytellers or where stories come from. They come from a family and life like Peninnah's. Thank you Caren Schnur Neile.
