The Rabbi's Girl, a startling saga of rejection, revenge, and madness, travels the unmapped roads of the Great Depression. It charts a tossed-off girl's marriage to a Catskill boy to spite his gangster brother. The triangle infects religious values, loyalties, and family stability in an America plagued by the mob, Murder Incorporated, anti-Semitism, and indenture. Abe Rizer tethers his brother Sol to the mob and cheats him out of more than just a wife. Though Minnie comes full circle to a husband who loves her unconditionally-a man used, refused, and abused-it is disastrous. For her, motherhood had seemed alien and the birth of a son frightening. Sol rescues Minnie from herself, from a vengeful, gangster brother, a fundamentalist rabbi, and self-destruction. Minnie's baggage is lightened, but too late to find a happy-ever-after.
