Prodigal Children in the House of G-D

'Prodigal Children in the House of G-d' explores themes of family, home, and exile largely from ultra-Orthodox Jewish and/or queer perspectives. The stories here focus on character, mood, plot, and situation and eschew references to specific locations. The characters navigate religious tradition as they seek to reshape their lives in unforeseen ways. An elderly woman living alone remembers a long-ago love. A holiday abroad forever changes the lives of a mother and daughter. In the concluding story, a married Torah scholar encounters romance in an unexpected quarter. A note on transliteration and pronunciation and a glossary of Hebrew and Yiddish terms appear at the end of the collection. The collection includes two pairs of interlocking stories.
