This was just an amazing book to read. Thank you for your research into this party of history. The book was so incredibly well written, one of the few books I can say I could not put down. Thank you for your insight and I look forward to any more books you may write. Ha, see I have to end this with a question? Any more books planned on historical fiction?
Kim van Alkemade
Hello Margot, I am so glad you enjoyed reading my novel, I really appreciate you letting me know. I am working on another novel of historical fiction also set in New York in the 1920s and 1930s, but it's too soon in the writing process to tell you what it's about!

My dad Martin Weiss left the orphanage in Tuckahoe on his bar mitzvah. His father had died when he was 6 and his older siblings refused to go with my grandmother, a zionist to Palestine, but in fact she traveled the south a religious zealot until committed and died in 1941 with the kids thinking she had gone to Palestine. I have a picture of my dad's basketball team. Where can I find old pictures? thank you.

I am so glad that I was able to read Orphan #8. I put my name on a list at our local library. As soon as I started reading it I couldn't wait to read more. It was so informative. I learned so much about the Jewish Orphanages and the experiments that were performed on the orphans from your book. I can't wait to see what you write next. What subject matter are you exploring? Thanks, Marilyn
