Address Book

By: Lcsw, Cheryl Ellen Stern

Address Book is a rare glimpse into a present-day crisis and an intimate coming-of-age story set in a Jewish family in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. It invites readers to reflect on how earlier experiences shape the way they respond to illness, loss, and uncertainty, and how making meaning of those experiences can help move beyond coping and toward connection and healing. Transgenerational trauma, survivorship, the Holocaust, illness, and childhood are themes woven through this raw look at familial relationships.
