Jonathan Bauman had a comfortable life. As a prominent Orthodox rabbi, he and his wife had raised three wonderful children and his congregation was thriving. If anything, 30 years of success had found him growing restless. That of course, was before. Before his son came out as gay. Before his daughter started dating a man rumored to be a Muslim. Before his good friend and strongest ally was indicted for fraud. Before his position was on the line. His family, now in crisis, his congregation in revolt, Jonathan is forced to square his chaotic reality with the traditions and beliefs he has practiced and preached his entire life. Facing daunting questions about the true meanings of love, family, and faith, he must embark on a path he never imagined to encounter a man he might never have known.
From Andrew Kane, author of Joshua: A Brooklyn Tale, Rabbi Rabbi, and The Night the Day this latest offering is an emotionally stirring novel that takes the reader on a journey of devotion discord despair and discovery.
