Acts of Assumption

$19.95

A Novel by S. W. Leicher

 In America, we’re good at dividing ourselves into tribes–into “insiders” and “outsiders”–based on race, background and beliefs. But what happens when a person is an outsider within her own tribe?  Serach Gottesman, the mathematically-gifted eldest daughter of a rigidly Orthodox Jewish Boro Park family and Paloma Rodriguez, the street-smart Bronx-bred daughter of a neglectful Latina immigrant mother, seek broader vistas within a relationship that is forbidden by both their communities.  Love provides them ballast, but they find that some cultural bonds grip tight and some wounds run deep.
