After years of leaving her husband and children behind in Seattle
as she traveled back and forth to Russia pursuing a career, Elisa
Brodinsky Miller discovers she's writing her own chapter in a book
of three generations. Shortly after her father's death, Elisa
discovers a cache of letters written in Russian and Yiddish among
his belongings, which she quickly resolves to translate. Dated from
1914 to 1922 and addressed to her grandfather, Eli, in Wilmington,
Delaware, the letters capture the eight long years that Eli spent
apart from his wife and their six children who remained behind in
the Pale of Settlement. With each translation, Brodinsky Miller
learns more about this time spent apart, the family she knew so
little about, and the country they came to leave behind, connecting
her own experiences with those who came before her. This
captivating memoir bridges the past with the present, as we learn
about her grandparents' drives to escape the Jewish worlds of
Tsarist Russia, her immigrant parents' hopes for their marriage in
America, and now her turn to reach for meaning and purpose: each a
generation of aspirations-first theirs, now hers.
