All beginnings are hard - that is the lesson David Lurie learns early and painfully in his life. As a boy in the Depression- shadowed Bronx, he must begin to hold his own against neighborhood bullies and the treacherous frailties of his own health. As a young man in a world menaced by a distant, horrifying war, he must begin once more - this time to define a resolute path of personal belief that departs boldly from the tradition of his teachers and his own father, a courageous defender of their people. Learning how to remember the past as he nourishes the future, David struggles to complete his first long journey into ancient beginnings.

Starting with "The Chosen" and culminating with "Davita's Harp", his most recent achievement, the books of CHAIM POTOK have enthralled millions of readers throughout the world and have firmly established their author as one of America's great stórytelling masters, whose "fiction" proclaimed the Chicago Daily News, "is a living force".
