Midway through the brisk fall of 1941, Morris and Sadie Goldstein begin to cultivate a small community of tenants in their six-flat brownstone. As World War II descends, this group has no options but to cling to one another. The fate of each tenant depends on the relationships they develop as they grapple with the outcomes of war. The Brownstone is a story of compassion, grief, love, and understanding shared by this small, eclectic community.
