After the death of her mother, twelve-year-old Rina is rejected by her other relatives and goes to live with a wealthy couple in New York, where she finds a way of life very different from what she has ever known.

Rina had to take a train, a plane and a cab all by herself to a new big city. There she would begin her life again. Would she like her new school? Would she find friends? Would her new adoptive parents be kind to her? Her only sister had been flown across the ocean to England. Would she ever see her again?

Readers will love this spunky twelve-year-old redhead who learns to embrace the love of her new family while never forgetting her past.

This review is from: New Beginnings (Paperback)

Mrs. Weinfeld is what I call a "natural writer." Her characters ring true, her stories are realistic and she has a real ear for dialogue. Best of all, the adoption aspect of this book is so positive and uplifting. If you are looking for a "frum" book for your children, this is the book for you. I highly recommend this title and I also loved her book, Open House. As you can tell, I am a fan.
