I have discovered Asher Lev!
"My Name is Asher Lev" and "The Gift of Asher Lev" A story of an Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn that is born an artistic gift which test the norms of his community. The history of the migration from Russia in the early 20th century an underlying foundation is prescient as we watch current events.
These books are beautifully written.

I am a retired Teacher and RN awaiting approval for SSDI. I have been home bound since February 2021 and have just recently gotten my ability to concentrate and focus on the written word. Audio books have been a staple for me for years and I have listened to many wonderful narrations but holding a book has brought me back to my own voice.
