Linda BogdanowThis book was very interesting to me because I actually lived through the circumstances that is what happened to the community where I lived. Also there was a complete chapter about the Temple that my family belonged to and the Rabbi who was affiliated to it. It This rabbi is the one who officiated at my wedding. As you can tell this book is extremely interesting as I remembered how my parents ere targeted by the banks and real estate people to where they ended up having to sell the home that I grew up in. The book has caused me to have many different emotions as I read it.I now see myself what caused the shift in demographics in my beloved neighborhood. my parents were of the generation that did not tell the children about these things so I was not aware when the shift was happening. Now I am aware and remember tthe circumstances which led to my parents having to sell and find a new home that they could afford. This book is one that I will keep in my book collection.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
