About This Item


Content appears as New, Unopened, Unread and Unblemished Fine wraps, as shown..Hint of tinge to text.

A Jewish writer portrays his personal struggle to rediscover the religious and cultural heritage that his family lost through their assimilation into American society.

Sometimes we must look into the past in order to face the future.

After growing up as a fully assimilated Jew, Paul Cowan embarked in his mid-thirties upon a journey to discover and appreciate his true identity and heritage. This orphan in history relates his search for these roots, detailing the path he took from his Park Avenue home to nineteenth-century Lithuania to a contemporary Israeli kibbutz, leading to remarkable personal discoveries that will move everyone who has yearned to know more about their past.

An Orphan in History is a classically beautiful, inspiring story of how one man evolved from describing himself as an American Jew to an American and a Jew.

This story will inspire you to journey in search of your true self.
