Introducing Benesh – My Debut Historical Novel
Hello, Goodreads readers! I’m thrilled to be here and to introduce myself as the author of Benesh, my debut historical novel, coming January 7, 2026.
Benesh
is a story about identity, Jewish family tradition, and redemption, set in 1930s–1940s New York City and World War II. It follows Benesh Burke, a young man determined to fit into American life—even if it means abandoning everything his immigrant family holds sacred.
I’ll be posting updates here as we get closer to publication — including behind-the-scenes details, inspirations from my research, and maybe a few glimpses into Benesh’s world. I hope you’ll add the book to your shelf and follow along on this journey.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to connecting with you here!
