Happy September lst. My new novel, GOOD-BYE RUSSIA, HELLO AMERICA has been published.

It's a saga about a family that comes to America in the Roaring Twenties. Jacov and Rueben (renamed Jack and Rubin) get jobs, find romance, enjoy burlesque and bagels under the disapproving eye of Mama Ida who bemoans the fate of the eldest son who stayed behind in Russia.

The depression followed by WWII changes everything. Jack, now a soldier is parachuted into Europe where he mingles with the bedraggled survivors fleeing the liberated concentration camps as he continues his search for Yehuda...

There's excitement, loyalty to their new land, opportunity and love...everything you want in a novel that is an inspiration to immigrants, the children and grandchildren of immigrants.

I was always  grateful that my parents and their brothers and sisters came to this country between the two world wars, survived the evils of Europe, and spawned a proud, new generation  for America.
Immigration has the energy to create great nations.

Would like to share this novel with you.

Shalom,

Janet S. Kleinman
