About this edition: These are twenty-four autobiographical story-essays, witty, vulnerable, and wise, about growing up part of a puzzled and unassimilated Orthodox Jewish family in a Michigan small-town in the 1930s and '40s and about the wider world of marriage, children, teaching and writing after that rich beginning.

About this edition: Faye Moskowitz's first collection of story-essays, A Leak in the Heart (Godine, 1985), was a marvellous exploration of growing up in a Jewish Orthodox family in small-town Michigan, and clearly established her gift for uncovering - and understanding - the constant pulls and liabilities of family relationships.
