I LOVE really good Jewish historical fiction. Which is why I enjoy those authors.
And Shortchanged (E.G. Schwartz), Freefall and The Cohens of Tzfat (Miriam Zakon), The Exiles of Crocodile Island (Henye Meyer).
Since I'm veering into teen or younger territory, there's also The Stars Will Guide You (Miriam Walfish), Name the Stars (Penina Weiser).

Wonderful thread! I'm mentally compiling a list of old favorites to reread.

Now I’m intrigued. |
The name of the book is "the unaswered cry" about an ultra frum girl who finds out she is
not Jewish.

There is a book written by someone who survived cancer. She writes her story in such a positive, uplifting way. I read it in eighth grade and loved it.
The Way I See It, by Malia Panzer.

I ordered Forever My Jerusalem from Abes books. It was $10 including shipping. Hardcover and in good condition. It just came today and I can't wait for my kids to read it! |
I did this during the March- April corona lockdown. Bought quite a few of the (jewish) books I loved as a when I was younger, for my kids. Greatly expanded our home library. Including Forever My Jerusalem, Promise Me Tomorrow, Holocaust Diaries, and some newer ones too. Amazon also often has used versions for cheaper.

That’s Tzipi Catons “Miracle Ride” I’m assuming.

Just finished re-reading “The Stars Will Guide You” again. Love the way it’s written and how we gain insight into how the Italian Jews feared in WWII. It’s one of my favorites for the 10-14+ age group.

No it's not.
I really enjoyed tzipi Caton's book too!
But when I saw someone mention it, it reminded me of The Way I See It, which was written by a woman who was a wife and mommy at the time of her illness.

There was a book I read about a woman who had a sudden brain injury - sort of like an aneurysm, but different....and how she had to start learning to walk all over again, and so much more....but with incredible strength and perseverance she regained much of her functioning and can take care of her children and family. I found it incredibly inspiring, but can't remember the title.

I've wanted to read chains (read bits of it in Mishpacha) but they no longer have it in Judaica Plaza.
I love some of her other writing, including her current Rocking Horse serial.

A Daughter of Two Mothers
I read this book more than 10 years ago and still think about it from time to time...It had such a deep effect on me.
