I have received two more five star reviews on Amazon for The Women Before Us. Here are excerpts from the reviews by the authors of two wonderful family history books:

From Joy Neal Kidney, author of Leora’s Letters: The Story of Love and Loss for an Iowa Family During World War II:

“This is a compelling historical novel based on the lives of women in the author’s life, Jewish women who immigrated to the US. It’s a story of daughters marrying and moving away, births and losses, Jewish customs, lost hopes and dreams …. The realities of life through generations of women.”

From Helen Joyce, author of Good for A Single Journey:

“A thoughtful and moving story of three generations of diverse women from one Jewish family. Spanning a period from the late 19th century to post-WWII, the tale moves between Philadelphia, Denver and Santa Fe. Describing women with different lives relationships and experiences, the book ties together the universal themes of love, marriage, childbirth, grief and loss. Matriarchy and its evolving role over time is a central theme. Thoughtful, well written and researched.”

I highly recommend both of their books as well.
