"This book made a huge impression because it was the first book I ever read that had Jewish characters in it. I read it to my mother because it reminded me prof her stories of the lower Eastside. She loved it as well."

"How can I not love a book where the romantic heroine is a librarian! This was also one of the books that introduced me to Judaism as a child, the rare book depicting Jewish life in the early 20th century in a generally upbeat way. Each of the 5 sisters is lovable, with a distinct personality, but shy, bookish Sarah was always my favorite."
Lesley Williams
"Wonderful historical fiction of the joys and troubles of an immigrant Jewish family. An absolute joy to read as a young Jewish girl, seeing such positive representation and relatable content even for present day children."
