Shrouded, a novel with historical and Jewish themes, unearths the secrets of three generations of women. The journey starts with the unlikely matriarch, Mazzie, in a Russian shtetl, takes you to the shores of Galveston, Texas, the oft forgotten "Ellis Island of the West," and settles in the plains of Nebraska.
Along the way, you will get a peek behind the secret burial society of the Jewish people. Preparing a body for burial is the ultimate kindness for it can never be repaid. But we aren't so kind to the living -- nor quick to forgive. Hunker down for this tale with a macabre twist. |
