I am the author of an upcoming Jewish historical romance novel, "Kindle the Light of Liberty," scheduled for publication in July 2026. My passion is elevating Jewish women in historical fiction, which is why I am reaching out to women leaders and educators of our community.
Are you an American history buff? Are you a Jewish Janeite?
Might you be interested in writing a brief introduction or review? I would love to include your voice; having a short reflection from someone grounded in Jewish learning, ethics, or historical scholarship would offer readers a meaningful lens through which to enter the story. It helps situate the book not only as fiction, but as a work engaged with enduring questions of identity, belonging, memory, and moral choice—questions that resonate differently when framed by someone with expertise or spiritual perspective.
Set in Colonial America, the novel follows Jewish families navigating questions of identity, belonging, and loyalty during the Revolutionary era. It’s a story grounded in everyday life—where history is shaped not only in public events, but also in kitchens, shops, and private correspondence, where small choices and quiet exchanges can carry unexpected weight. At its heart, the book is character-driven, focused on misunderstandings, romance, family expectations, and the gradual work of seeing others more clearly.
While rooted in a specific historical setting, it carries a subtle (maybe, not-so-subtle) influence from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, especially the idea that first impressions rarely tell the whole story. However, no prior familiarity with Austen is needed. This is a light, "clean read."
If you are interested and have the time for this relatively short read, I would be delighted to send along an ePub or PDF manuscript.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration,
