Nobody's Like Me: A Bronx Girl's Memoir

Nobody’s Like Me is a tribute to women, family and the power of love over generations. Their journeys were intertwined, held together by far more than the glue of some Jewish tradition and “shtick”. Although being oddly different has become special, all sorts of prejudice still confront us. This story, exemplifies emotional and physical survival, over three generations. One somewhat mystical, contemporary, Jewish girl tries to make sense of it all; amidst The Bronx streets during the tumultuous sixties and throughout her life.
From birth through adolescence, adulthood, aging and death, issues that confront many of us are revealed. They are shared not only through memoir, but within her poetry, prose and even dreams, always with subtle spirituality. Religious and racial prejudice, the dysfunctional family, rites of passage, roles of women and men, sexuality, education, mental disorders, inferiority; the common trials and tribulations, are threaded tales, unified through the power and significance of the people and events, influencing one’s life.. They are fated, should you believe, with a bit of the paranormal. For the spider’s web entraps, enwraps and reveals both beauty in life and death, for those of all races and religions.
So embrace the cycle, peer through their window, travel beside them and hopefully benefit through the journey together……you may find yourself.
