(ARC) Tours: Hush

Jul

2010






Hush by Eishes Chayil | Inside the closed community of Borough Park, where most Chassidim live, the rules of life are very clear, determined by an ancient script written thousands of years before down to the last detail--and abuse has never been a part of it. But when thirteen-year-old Gittel learns of the abuse her best friend has suffered at the hands of her own family member, the adults in her community try to persuade Gittel, and themselves, that nothing happened. Forced to remain silent, Gittel begins to question everything she was raised to believe. A richly detailed and nuanced book, one of both humor and depth, understanding and horror, this story explains a complex world that remains an echo of its past, and illuminates the conflict between yesterday's traditions and today's reality.

Hush has been sent and the confirmation # is 0309 3220 0000 1995 1240
I'm not sure why it says it was mailed on the 27th of last month (maybe a mistype?) but it's been mailed and is on it's way. (I forget if I mailed it 1st Class or Media - I sent a lot of books out this morning.)
