by Dina
Bar-Tov
Dovid is a rabbi who loves the rabbinate. Dina is his wife, his
rebbetzin, and she loves Dovid. The synagogue where Dovid officiates
is like most synagogues, with its arguments and pettiness, but
also with its warmth and respect for the rabbi. It seems like
Dovid and Dina and their growing family will spend many years
in the Rockland community, helping the synagogue to grow.
But then Dovid dies suddenly, leaving Dina at the mercy of the
synagogue, family and friends.
The tragedy, the humor, the frustrations, and the honest vitality
with which Dina recounts the details of her life will give you
insights into the struggles that many single mothers go through
-- except that most single mothers don't have nine young children
in tow!
But no matter. Dina is a doer. She provides for her family even
as she begins her search for her new soul mate.
Dina Bar-Tov was born in Brooklyn
and graduated Brooklyn College with honors. This is her first
book, but she has been a writer since fourth grade when she penned
I am a Briefcase. Her eighth grade class nominated her
for the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. She's running late, but still has
hope.
