Great start! Makes you feel like you need to keep reading to learn what happened!

Magical Jewish - as in, lore in Jewish Magic. This is a great coming of age story where the protagonist has to face her mother's memory loss and deal with family secrets. All while taking place in a Jewish shtetl.

Congrats on making it this far! I'm very proud
