a Jewish family deals with hidden truths

It is a shame this book is out-of-print, because it is a marvelous story. The author, Elizabeth Klein, tells the story of an extended secular Jewish family whose carefully structured world is shattered when the college-age son of one of the families runs away on Christmas Day. This causes everyone in the family to reexamine themselves and their lives, facing the difficult past and the more difficult future. Religion, God, and the lack thereof play an important part of the story, as do the meanings of words and silence. I heard the author read a selection of this book shortly after its publication, and the power of connections between family members who have chosen different paths has always remained with me. I highly recommend this title if you can find it!
