Young Adult
Growing up in her parents’ crazy hippie household on a tiny
island off the coast of Boston, Jules’s imaginative sense of
humor is the weapon she wields to dodge household chaos. But
somewhere between routine discipline with horsewhips,
gun-waving gambling debt collectors, and LSD-laced breakfast
cereal adventures, tragedy strikes with the death of her
younger brother—a blow from which Jules may never fully recover. Jules’ story alternates with that of her Grandfather Samuel,
a man with a sad story of his own. Samuel, once called
Szaja, is an orthodox Jew who lived through the murderous
Ukranian pogroms of the 1920s and the Majdanek Death
Camp—but whose survival came at a price that’s haunted him
for years.

Re: The Belief In Angels
Sounds like a great read. I'm a grown up who likes to read YA, but I have a
14yr old daughter who reads as well. Do you think this book would be a
good fit for her age group? Also, would this make a good book club
candidate? My book club read The Book Thiief and loved it. Is this book
anything like that book or Anne Frank?
