Seattle to Strawberries
Seattle to Strawberries is a young adult novel about sixteen year old, Rina Ziskind, sleuth-in-training, who sees every sign of a bright future at her Jewish school in Seattle, until the tuition crisis hits hard; her father has no way to pay and the scholarship fund mysteriously disappears. Clues lead Rina to a wealthy man in town, Mr. Nathan Rudd, who has suddenly taken over the school’s finances. But before she can solve the mystery, Rina and her family are whisked away to her father’s new job on a strawberry farm in Cedar Grove, Oregon, which is sadly empty of Jewish life.
Teen readers will relate to Rina’s complicated mix of emotions fueled by her determination against all odds to restore her family’s dignity and to complete her high school diploma that she is certain will seal her financial future. Rina’s encounter with Jews from different walks of life provides the opportunity for her to make Judasim her own as she moves towards adulthood.

“If Hashem gave you the ability and guided you to write a book, then whatever the book’s plot may be, the inner dimension must be that when a reader finishes the book, he must walk away with the conviction that despite the fools who think that the world runs randomly, there is a master in charge of this turbulent world and in the end righteousness and goodness prevail.”
I express gratitude to the Lubavitcher Rebbe for his insightful words concerning the purpose of an author.
