The Gostynin Shul - A Yiddish history mystery. Dr. Joanna Adelman takes walks with her seeing-eye dog and tries to survive her Grandmother's cooking. Her work as a Yiddish translator adds to the story of Jewish immigration to Boston. A peaceful life until the Zielinski documents arrive one morning – a jumble of handwritten pages in a cardboard box. Suddenly Joanna has to fend off an enraged Hasidic group and a Boston society matron desperate to preserve her family's wealth and status. With the help of Ming Leibowitz, her Chinese-Israeli assistant, and Dr. Phillipa Henderson, a specialist in African-American culture, Joanna searches the layered history of Boston’s Beacon Hill and the fight over a plot of land once owned by former slaves. The centuries-old struggle of Boston’s marginalized Jews and African-Americans to find a place to call home reignites in modern-day Boston, and old hatreds threaten to break a community apart.
