Reviews: "Beth Schorr Jaffe nails the damage secrets foment in a family. And she does it with a freshness, passion, and prose so exquisitely precise, her words feel like a gift. I couldn't put Stars of David down." -Patricia Volk, author of STUFFED: Adventures of a Restaurant Family "Stars of David is a wonderful novel. This book is about real human beings with real concerns, and it shows a fine understanding about what is really important as people progress through their lives. Beth Schorr Jaffe's first novel is a gem, and I am already anxious to read her second."-Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, Professor Emerita, Brooklyn College; Alexander White Professor of English, The University of Chicago, and author of The Snow Fox, The Autobiography of Foudini M. Cat, and Poison "This is a remarkable work, one which lucidly describes both the passions and pains that permeate all families. Beth Schorr Jaffe has written a wonderful, compelling debut novel."-Roger Granet, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Weill Cornell Medical College and author, Surviving Cancer Emotionally: Learning How to Heal. Stars of David is a compelling story exploring the dangerous secrets of one man-a cantor renowned in the New York City Jewish community-who causes trauma and nearly unbearable pain for his family's next generation. Who really was the charismatic cantor David Kaplan? Why did he leave his son Eli to go to China to die and then have his nephew Adam retrieve his body? And why did the dying cantor declare he no longer believed in God? After his death, his son, his nephew, and the women they love must learn to transcend his pernicious legacy of abuse and care.
