Rachel's Secret Chosen as One of Nine Challenging YA Books Set Amidst War & Global Crisis

The world's first video wiki, Ezvid Wiki, has selected my first novel, Rachel's Secret, as a challenging Young Adult novel set amidst war and global crisis. Rachel's Secret begins in 1903 Kishinev, Moldova, where underlying anti-Semitism ignites a devastating pogrom (massacre) against the Jewish population.

This pogrom is historically significant as it was the first major one of the twentieth century, and it was inflamed by newspaper propaganda. A "Russian Hitler," who owned the daily newspaper, wrote atrocious lies, creating a toxic environment for Jews. Rachel's Secret received a Starred Review in Booklist: "In an artful way throughout this absorbing, chilling tale, characters wonder what can stop the tragedy of hatred from overcoming community."
