A kosher butcher with a gambling problem. A Jewish Pygmalion. A woman whose elegant persona conceals the memory of an unspeakable horror. A boy who struggles to maintain his fathers old-world code of honor on the mean streets of Brooklyn. The little man who wasnt there, whose absence reflects his familys inability to deal with its painful memories. An immigrants son who discovers America - its promise and its dark side - as a soldier on leave in WW2. These tales recover the violent circumstances, the emotional and psychological costs of uprooting, which left the immigrant uncertain of his place in America, and show how that uncertainty shaped the lives of their American descendants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67962066108704,"sku":"NEW1935248995","price":10.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91NSE4pYd4L.jpg?v=1792889757","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/greenhorns-stories-1935248995","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
