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 Benesh by Daniel Hock 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!
