Faigy stopped writing, and put her head down, teary-eyed.
“That’s the problem, Esti,” she said. “We’re leaving civilization
to go to a midbar!”
“But Bubby and Zeidy and Mama and Papa wouldn’t lead us
into a place of danger,” I whispered.
When Esti Fisher’s grandmother receives a mysterious
letter, the curious eleven-year-old wonders about the
secret it contains. Why is her close-knit family suddenly
packing up and leaving the busy streets and towering skyscrapers
of New York City, and moving to Fords, Kansas, with its
Underground Railroad tunnels and dark, deserted house? Are
Esti and her family the only Jews in far-off Fords? How will their
Yiddishkeit survive?
Secrets is a colorful, heartwarming adventure by popular
author Sukey Gross. In this exciting historical tale, she takes
readers on a fascinating journey through American life in the
1920s—from the hustle and bustle of the Upper East Side to the
slow-paced, stark frontiers of the Midwest. Join Esti as she discovers
one incredible secret after another—leading to the one that changes her life forever.
