I am officially at that age where I resist getting a new appliance because I think we just bought the one we have. Then get angry when I am informed that the current appliance is over ten years old. As if hubby has control over time. Thankfully our appliances are just fine and it is my Mother in Law’s who is shopping. Ten years just isn’t what it used to be. It used to be FOREVER! Now it’s just a blink. That’s the trick that appliances pull on you. If you never buy a major appliance, time will go much slower. Unfortunately we all have to buy one at some point, and that is when you are bumped up to the next level of time experience. At least that is my current theory. I am going to test it out with a smaller appliance and buy myself a new hairdryer.
The Yiddish Gangster’s Daughter (A Becks Ruchinsky Mystery Book 1)
by Joan Lipinsky Cochran
Genre: World Literature | Mystery
FREE for a limited time
Since separating from her philandering husband, Boca Raton writer Becks Ruchinsky has struggled to build a closer relationship with her quirky and contentious father, Tootsie, who lives in a retirement home. One evening, as she and her father are relaxing on the home’s front porch, an elderly woman accuses Tootsie of having murdered her husband fifty years earlier.
Tootsie admits to ratting on the man, who’d cheated their Jewish syndicate boss out of thousands of dollars, but denies killing the widow’s husband. He also admits to having friends in the Jewish mafia and shares stories about his experiences. But the more time she spends with her father, the more convinced Becks becomes that Tootsie is lying about his involvement. Determined to discover the truth about her dad’s past, she sets out on a journey to undercover his darkest secrets. She learns he worked for the Jewish mafia -running numbers for the Cuban lottery, beating up Nazi sympathizers, and smuggling arms to Israeli independence fighters. When she learns that he murdered his best friend and, possibly, his own brother, she must decide if she can accept his criminal past – or cut him out of her life.
The Yiddish Gangster’s Daughter also explores the impact our parents’ relationships have on our own. Throughout the book, Becks challenges her father on his infidelity toward her mother and becomes frustrated by his refusal to acknowledge that what he did was hurtful to his entire family. She’s upset when Tootsie minimizes her husband’s affair and encourages her to take him back. Ultimately, Becks realizes that she cannot forgive her husband for cheating until she comes to terms with her father’s infidelities… and her mother’s willingness to put up with them.
A gripping and thought-provoking murder mystery, this award-winning novel explores the colorful and precarious world of the 1940s and 1950s Jewish mafia… and the limits of familial love.
