Title: A Conflict of Love and Honor
Product review: It is early 20th century America and arranged marriages among Orthodox Jewish families are still the norm. But American values and norms beget opportunities in conflict with the old world ways. In this love story of a religious man, his promised wife and the woman he loves, we follow fifteen years through the eyes of the two women. "The Promised Hand", a fictionalized account of a true story, is written with thoughtful intuition and creates for the reader a series of portraits of the women and men caught up in the conflicts created by their changing times.You gently close the book having learned to care about the people (no longer characters) and wanting to know how they lived out the rest of their lives.
