    About this ebook

    Sequel to best-seller Please Say Kaddish For Me. Leaving friends and loved ones behind and escaping the pogroms that raged across Russia and decimated the Jewish people by migrating to America, Havah, her husband Arel and a scant few surviving Jews find that bigotry and discrimination does not belong to Russia alone. Hatred is alive and well in the new land.
    Back in their homeland, not even the promises of the Czar, Nicholas himself was enough to stay the rape, pillage and plunder that had become an ever pending axe hanging over the heads of the entire Jewish community.
    Although things were worse in America than they had believed, it was like heaven compared to Russia, and Havah did have one American friend in her corner: President Theodore Roosevelt. Her faith and determination enabled her to persevere and lead her people through trials and tribulations that at times seemed almost too much to bear, but she was buttressed by her father's words: "As one must, one can."
