"In 13 skillfully crafted stories, Julie Zuckerman, a native of Connecticut who now resides in Modiin, Israel, introduces us to Jeremiah Gerstler – son, father, husband, professor and Jew. There is something familiar about Jeremiah, as if he is someone you know – perhaps a cousin, uncle, or friend. Bound together, the stories form a moving and delightful novel that not only tells Jeremiah’s story but also paints a picture of the Jewish experience across the decades."
 
Julie will present, including the sources of inspiration, her writing process, research examples, path to publication, and more.
