One Person’s Loss: A Novel Is Accepted for Publication

I’m happy to announce that Vine Leaves Press will publish my next novel, One Person’s Loss, which asks whether the marriage of young German Jewish refugees can survive their clashing personalities and the traumas of the Holocaust. Set in Brooklyn from 1937 to 1951, Petra and Erich Wedler’s parents send them to America to start a family before the Nazis systematically decimate their community. The novel is told from both perspectives, as the couple find themselves at odds over losses — a miscarriage, the abrupt end of a job, the slaughter of loved ones. Confronting birth and death, their relationship seesaws until a final crisis tests their ability to sustain a balance and stay together. The book is due out in September 2022. Read more about the book in NOVELS.
