When World War I breaks out, as a woman, a Jew, wife of a German Jew, a suffragist and a mother of three, it seems Milbourne Goldschmidt's life just lurches from one obstacle to another. When her husband is interned as an enemy alien, it is difficult to support one's children when no one wants to hire Jews, or Germans. Perhaps life would be easier with a different last name, perhaps the name Graham.
PRAISE for A Teygl in His Pocket
It's a page turner, a love story, and an adventure story, that takes us from the town of Stefaneshti in Botosani Province, Rumania, near the Russian border; to Manhattan's Lower East Side and Brooklyn, New York; and to Toronto, Canada, with stops along the way . . . in the early 20th century. It's a story of Jewish bakers and tailors, who leave the Old World for the New, and what they find there. This is a story that was written with love.
