Green Fences: A Novel (Originally Serialized in Mishpacha Magazine)

Libby bit her lip, then looked Rivka full in the face. "I know what you want to talk about, Rivk. And I also know you've been trying to broach the topic the entire morning while I've been doing everything I can to stop you. Look, I'll be blunt: I love you tons, but it's a disaster for you to get involved between me and Bin." Libby's cheeks were fuchsia; her eyes flashed fire. "Tell whoever's pressuring you to call off their dogs, or you and I are through. And I mean it." Meet Libby Hirsch: A newly divorced sheitelmacher struggling to start her own business, navigate tricky ex-connections, and single-handedly manage the wild antics of her six-year-old son, Avi. Her ex-husband, Bin, is irresponsible at best, foolhardy at worst, making custody arrangements a nightmare. And her best friend, Rivka, also happens to be her former sister-in-law, leaving her all but friendless when family members apply pressure on their relationship.

Sprinkled with humor, written with warmth, it's a journey that will keep you riveted till the very end. See for yourself whether courage and persistence can prevail; whether split ends can, indeed, be repaired.

All That Glitters

Instead, I created a monster.” The quintessential loving father who only wants what’s best for his kids, Moish Green showers his family with expensive vacations and unlimited use of his credit card. But somewhere along the way, the situation has soured. His ungrateful children, now adults, only want more...and more...and more. Moish’s wife, Reenie, watches helplessly as her family’s spending habits spin out of control. How can they rein in the monster they’ve created and teach their children the value of responsibility?
