Über diesen Titel
In America, we're good at dividing ourselves into tribes - into "insiders" and "outsiders" - based on race, background, and beliefs. But what happens when a person is an outsider within her own tribe? Serach Gottesman, the mathematically gifted eldest daughter of a rigidly Orthodox-Jewish Boro Park family and Paloma Rodriguez, the street-smart Bronx-bred daughter of a neglectful Latina immigrant mother, seek broader vistas within a relationship that is forbidden by both of their communities. Love provides them with ballast, but they find that some cultural bonds grip tight and some wounds run deep.

"The grace and delicacy of Leicher's prose, the honesty and humor of her characters' voices, and the abundance of carefully observed detail make this book a joy. The people and worlds in Acts Of Assumption are singular and universal at once, and vividly drawn. Leicher is a novelist to watch." (SJ Rozan, award-winning author of Ghost Hero)
"In her debut novel, Leicher presents a sweeping tale of faith and family that explores the abiding love between two independent women. Despite the challenges of crossing religious and cultural boundaries, they discover the courage to openly share their relationship. Readers will find joy in the passion and depth of their commitment." (Susan Gregg Gilmore, author of Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen)
