In the early 1900s, Sarah, a single mother of six children, is
trapped in the bloody upheaval marking the death of Czarist Russia
and the birth of the Soviet Union. Facing bigotry, poverty, and
bloody revolution, Sarah determines to escape the catastrophe
engulfing her and her family. She vows to bring them to
America.
In this memoir, author Isabelle Stamler traces her family's
roots back to the small Belarussian hamlet of Vashisht, telling
their story of the journey from Russia to a new life in New York
City. From the Great Depression through World War II and beyond,
"Sarah's Ten Fingers" narrates the trials and tribulations faced by
this determined mother seeking a better existence for her
family.
"Sarah's Ten Fingers" recalls Sarah's tenacity, strength, and
intelligence-traits that have been replicated in her progeny, who
are now teachers, lawyers, doctors, accountants, business owners,
and writers. It portrays fifty years in the lives of a family that
was brought out of hell by a pious Jewish woman seeking to attain
the Golden Land.
