Book Synopsis
These lyrical stories attempt to portray the yearnings of a little sister, the hazy memories of a concentration camp liberator, and the romantic entanglements of political activists. The title story captures the longings, personal and political, of a sensitive girl on the cusp of adolescence.

Trade Review
The qualities that characterize Wisenberg's work are not easy to come by in today's fiction. Her stories seem to me to have the flat honest gaze of children, who see more than we want them to and do not hesitate to tell all about it....But what's most unusual about her stories is their knowledgeability and utter honesty about religious doubt and yearning. Her stories about souls searching for a profound connection with their Jewishness are unlike any others I know, partly because of that flat-out candor, but partly because of the way her particular style serves her subject. - ROBELLEN BROWN
