“Lise Referred the newspaper on the train sit next to her. All week there has been bad news of the war and nothing to do but wait for more.” These words apply today because the bad news of COVID-19 and the misinformation continues to pour in. However, I continue to travel within the pages of a book; this book takes me to France, just after or close to its liberation and chronicles the stories of escape, survival, and human resilience. #currentlyreading This book was a “happy accident. “ I was contemplating what to read next, fiction wise, and this one poked out, and I picked it up and started traveling away. Why did I wait so long to read it? I’ve had for awhile. Book 9 of 25 books to read and I am still reading poems from the “Jane and Bertha in Me.” #rachelhall #jewishstudies #jewishliterature #family #shortstories @bkmk press (at Manatee Bend Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCWfnYkhRMU/?igshid=16hw1sgs3zz87
