This is a beautiful book about a relationship between a grandmother, Tzedyll, and granddaughter, Shayna. It is also a romance, a story of friendship, and a story of conflicts between generations. Shayna is a Jewish lesbian, and this book is on opportunity to learn from her perspective. The book starts out a little slowly, but soon becomes very engaging. Newman is very skilled at characterization. You will very likely become emotionally involved with these characters.
