I stayed up rather late and got up too early to finish Leaving Eastern Parkway. I loved the book on many levels. I spent so much time at my aunt's home there in the late 40s to mid 50s. So that part of the book brought back so many wonderful memories. That aside, I thought the story was wonderful, even though it made me very sad at some points. I hope that you will write another book in the near future?

I'm always writing, so I hope to have something in the not too distant future, but publishing is a tough business. Let's hope!!(less)

I'm a Jew and grew up in the Bronx. I went to college in Brooklyn and played racquetball back in the 80s, but no handball or Hasidism. I did a lot of internet research, watching videos, reading the Rebbe's letters, interviews, etc. I wanted the novel to have an authentic feel, even if every specific detail isn't exact. I'm a former professor (drawing and painting) and used to tell my students, "your drawings don't have to be accurate, only believable." Hope I've answered your question, and thanks for reading LEP!(less)
