This review is from: Nice Jewish Girls: Growing Up in America (Paperback)
As a jewish girl myself, the title of this book interested me. so many of the themes and ideas in this book were important and relevant to my life. some of the stories and poems are not as good as others, but many show promising talent from the jewish women of america.
