Jacobson's novel tells the story of a young Jewish man, Ezekiel, who is forced to flee his home in Nazi-occupied Europe and make his way to America, where he becomes a riveter in a factory in the heart of Detroit. Through Ezekiel's eyes, Jacobson tells the story of the aftermath of the Second World War, the challenges of the postwar era, and the immigrant experience in America.
Ezekiel is a wonder-worker, someone who can see the beauty in even the most mundane things. He is inspired by the miracles he sees every day in his factory and begins to believe that there is something greater out there waiting for him. When he is forced to flee his home in Europe, Ezekiel is determined to find a way to bring those miracles to life in America. Through his story, Jacobson explores the challenges of the postwar era, the immigrant experience in America, and the power of hope.; 8vo; $6.00.
