But when Lizzie calls to tell her their mother has died, she gets on a plane to Israel with no return ticket.Soon Zohara finds herself on an unexpected path that leads to shocking truths about her family—including dangers that lurk for impressionable young men and secrets that force her to question everything she thought she knew about her parents, her heritage, and her own future.The debut novel of an award-winning literary voice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
