Repentances

It is winter of 1936 in New York. As Europe slides toward world war, the Jewish immigrant community in the city is desperate to get its loved ones from the old country to America. Nathan Ebanholz is one of these immigrants. As the book opens, Nathan is about to make the final payment on his wife and daughter's passage to America. He has found them an apartment in the Bronx. But Nathan's joy is short-lived. The ship bringing his wife and child to America is already at sea, but Miri and Rayzela are not on board. The novel is set in two parts. The first part deals with the consequences of a terrible lie. As a result, a crime is committed, two crimes, in fact, a kidnapping and a murder. The lie and the subsequent crime impact the lives of all the characters. In the second part of the novel, the past and the present meet head-on. Spanning generations and decades, Repentances is a breathtaking historical mystery novel in which sins from the past never stay buried, and the only hope is to uncover the truth.Meyers, Annette is the author of 'Repentances', published 0000 under ISBN 9781410402066 and ISBN 1410402061.
