In this rare historical fiction, meet The Grodsky's, a close pious Jewish family who leave their oppressed Russian shtetl in 1914 for America, the golden land of freedom. Their devout faith and strong work ethic are immediately tested when Marvin, their youngest son, has an encounter that will change their lives forever. An easy and fast read, this coming of age story pits Marvin, a chess prodigy wanting to be a rabbi against an ambitious Italian street thug, Charlie Luciana, trying to make his criminal marks for the pre-Prohibition Mafia elite. At a time when beliefs and cultures clashed on the streets of New York City, the stakes keep getting higher.
