Wild Grapes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385260966)

It's 1918, and Bluma Rappaport can't wait to set sail for America where her husband has gone to start a new life--ostensibly for their whole family. But when Sender fails to send money for their passage, Bluma takes matters into her own hands. She and her three daughters show up on his doorstep, which turns out to be broken, just one of the problems with the derelict farm he purchased. Though inspired by the Jewish back-to-the-land movement, Sender has been spending more time studying Torah than he has plowing and harvesting. Worse, Bluma's hopes for her daughters are soon shaken. Can she protect them from the hollow marriage and lack of education that have been her own fate? Facing challenges such as the Spanish flu pandemic, the anti-Semitism of a resurgent Ku Klux Klan, and the Great Depression, Bluma relies on her wits and her wry sense of humor to pull the family through.
