Barefoot, wearing only a nightgown, 16 year old HAVAH COHEN alone escapes the brutal massacre that takes her parents and two brothers on a frigid November night in 1899. To keep going she recites the Kaddish, the prayer said in memory of the dead, as she runs through the woods in search of safety. Just before sunrise she collapses, still mumbling the prayer, on the synagogue steps in a nearby village called Svechka. There she's adopted by the Levine family. Havah's country, Moldova,in Eastern Europe is part of the Pale of Settlement.Under Czarist tyrannyit's made up of Jewish ghettos that havebeen subjected to centuries of bloody pogroms. The daughter of a free-thinking rabbi, Havah has received an education viewed by some to be inappropriate for her gender. As she adjusts to new surroundings and a permanent disability, the result of severe frostbite, she tries to keep her knowledge a secret. But, Svechka's blind rabbi figures her out and encourages her to read to him, alongside his son, Arel. While she comes to love the Levines, her attraction to AREL complicates matters. Despite his ardent love for her, he's a self-proclaimed man of his word and honors his long standing marriage contract to Havah's sister GITTEL.

L'autore:
Kansas City native Rochelle Wisoff-Fields is the author of This, That and Sometimes the Other, an anthology of her short stories, which she also illustrated. Her stories have also been featured in several other anthologies, including two editions of Voices.A woman of Jewish descent and the granddaughter of Eastern European immigrants, Rochelle has a close personal connection to Jewish history, which has been a recurring theme throughout much of her writing. Growing up, she was heavily influenced by the Sholom Aleichem stories as well as Fiddler on the Roof. Her novels Please Say Kaddish for Me and From Silt and Ashes were born of her desire to share the darker side of these beloved tales—the history that can be difficult to view, much less embrace.Before becoming an author, Rochelle attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where she studied painting and lithography. Her preferred media are pen and ink, pencil, and watercolor, but her artistic talent serves her well in her temporary career as a cake decorator. She and her husband, Jan, have raised three sons in the Kansas City metro area and now live in Belton, Missouri. When she takes a break from writing and illustrating, Rochelle enjoys swimming and dancing. She also maintains the blog Addicted to Purple.
