Description
Shoshana's Song is "a captivating, sensitive, and meaningful coming of age story about feminist teenager Shoshana Rosen, raised in a strict Orthodox Jewish home, who is determined to observe all the sacred traditions of her faith. Shoshana's life drastically changes when she rejects her father's wishes for an arranged marriage, and questions why she must decide between her love of Judaism, and her dream to pursue a college education and professional fulfillment. She makes the bold and painful decision to leave her home and community in New York and move to Chicago, where she rents an apartment with two young women. One of her roommates, Kate Shannon--an Irish Catholic--joins Shoshana on her journey, and shares her search for intellectual freedom, a successful career, happiness, love and marriage--balanced with the intense desire to keep their respective faiths and traditions. In Shoshana's Song, Jerry Marcus has created a perceptive and unforgettable story of how a young woman uses the questioning process to face the clashes between freedom of thought, the traditions she loves, and her faith. Marcus portrays Shoshana's difficult choices with charm, humor, understanding, and dignity--all contributing to her spiritual growth, and the power of the story."--,Publisher's statement on p. [4] of cover.
