Description
New bride Tamar Feingold is ****** by a Black man in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community of Orchard Hill. Ashamed and raised to keep up appearances at all costs, she keeps the ****** a secret, but gives birth to a baby boy--white with curly black hair--nine months later. Twenty-four years later, Tamar's son Aaron, a prominent scholar, marries the Gitte, whose father leads an Israeli yeshiva. She gives birth to a baby with black skin and is consequently accused of adultery. Ragen has written a novel that grapples with the intricacies of Orthodox ethics.
