A memoir - takes the reader back to Brooklyn, N. Y. during the years before, during and after the second world war. It tells the story of one family's journey from the old world to the new - from immigrant status to the American main stream. The youngest daughter, surrounded by love and tradition, is confused by the ramifications of her father's career as a bookmaker and professional gambler. It is a delightfully told "rags to riches" story replete with childish pranks and the richness of old fashioned cooking seasoned with Yiddishkeit.
