An upper-middle-class Jewish family is thrown into turmoil when a father is accused of abetting terrorism. Things couldn’t be more idyllic for the Samuels clan of Cambridge, Mass. Abigail is exulting in the pleasurable planning of a gala engagement party for daughter Kayla and future son-in-law Seth, two Harvard Law students with bright futures. But why is the caterer giving her the fish-eye? The news has hit the Internet: Suddenly the whole world knows that Abigail’s husband, Adam, a prominent CPA, has just been led, in handcuffs, from his Boston office by the FBI. The charge arose from the fact that Adam had steered some high-profile clients, including a former ghetto dweller turned celebrity entrepreneur, toward a hedge fund that, unbeknownst to Adam despite due diligence, financed terrorist operations. Seth, a controlling sort who pressures Kayla into straightening her hair and wearing pinstripes in order to better her chances with law-firm recruiters, insists that she distance herself from her father to avoid tainting her career prospects. Adam’s formerly close friends and even his rabbi shun him. On bail, awaiting trial and facing the loss of his hard-won reputation and prosperity, Adam grows increasingly despondent and rebuffs Abigail’s efforts to comfort him. Kayla impulsively hops a plane to Israel, and winds up on an archeological dig near the Dead Sea. There, amid a group of free spirits called the Talmidim, she lives off the land and studies with a charismatic guru, Rav Natan. She’s drawn to Daniel, an Israeli surgeon whose family was killed by a suicide bomber. Ironically, Daniel, with his contacts in Israeli army intelligence, may be the Samuels family’s salvation. Adam, alarmed by Kayla’s defection from the mainstream, sends both Abigail and Seth after her. Both will then experience epiphanies of their own. A page-turner illustrating the horrifying consequences of becoming embroiled in the American legal system, slowed by far too many weighty passages of authorial comment about the sad state of morals today..

  • READING GROUP GUIDE the Ghost of Hannah Mendes by Naomi Ragen
    READING GROUP GUIDE The Ghost of Hannah Mendes by Naomi Ragen St. Martin’s Press ISBN: 0-312-28125-0 (paperback) Introduction to The Ghost of Hannah Mendes When elderly Catherine da Costa, a wealthy Manhattan matron, learns she has only a short time to live, she realizes that the family tree will die unless she transfers its legacy to her granddaughters. But Suzanne and Francesca, modern young women in their twenties caught up in trendy environmental causes and ambitious careers, have no interest either in her, or in the past. Catherine almost despairs until, falling asleep before her fireplace, she is visited by the family matriarch, an indomitable Renaissance businesswoman (and true historical figure) named Hannah Mendes, who offers her a partnership. At the ghost's bidding, Catherine manages to temporarily detach her granddaughters from their New York lives, sending them on a magical journey through England, Spain and Venice in search of an ancient manuscript, Hannah's own handwritten memoirs. The trip to humor their grandmother takes on serious new meaning to both girls, as manuscript pages begin to show up, forcing the girls into a powerful encounter with their heritage that will forever challenge their view of their past, their present, and their future. Praise for The Ghost of Hannah Mendes "Ragen examines questions of faith, responsibility and the urgent desire to ensure the continuation of a family line....Ragan's forte is her ability to forge a connection between past and present, while the book adroitly addresses issues of faith and family." -Publishers Weekly _____________________________________________ For a complete listing of reading group guides visit: www.stmartins.com "If you love history and romance, this is a book for you.

Needless to say, my process was long, often halted and interrupted by the blessings and challenges of life, and in particular, motherhood. Throughout those interruptions, I was brought back to the fold of scholarship by Jacky Gringold, Jane Van Slembrouck, Marty Northrop, Trish Grisafi, Charlotte Willis, and Lauren Navarro, who provided ample empathy and always smart advice. I especially appreciate Liza Zitelli and her keen editorial eye, encouragement, and fantastic ideas. To Moshe Gold, head of composition at Fordham, thank you for being an excellent employer throughout my graduate career. Teaching was, and is, an invaluable gift that always kept me grounded; I am additionally indebted to my students for their humor and curiosity. Martine Stern, Ayla Syed, and Carole Alvino also provided tremendous help in navigating the bureaucracy of graduate school. My committee members Maria Farland and Glenn Hendler guided me with kindness, fairness, and intelligence towards creating my best possible work, and my fourth reader Elizabeth Stone was an insightful member of our defense conversation. I could not have asked for a better mentor than Lenny Cassuto, who not only pushed my scholarship and honed my skills as a writer, researcher, and student of literature, but who also served as my advocate, enabling me to concurrently work and care for my children and husband in a present and proactive way.
