Date: 10/13/2006 Publisher: Beaufort Books Synopsis: After the death of his beloved wife and a fall that leaves him wheelchair-bound, Abe Gilman thinks dying would be better than living out his days in a nursing home full of cranks and do-gooders who just won't leave him alone. However, when a spirited new arrival begins to liven up the residents' routine days, Abe finds himself intrigued by the ambitious project the others undertake. Deftly interwoven with Abe's story is the story of Elie, a Jewish boy on the cusp of manhood in Kenneth A. Chandler, editor of the Boston Herald, calls the book, "Poignant and inspiring…Life affirming…filled with clever surprises…When I reached the end and realized the significance of the title, I had difficulty choking back my emotions."
