Linda Glaser - Workshops and Children's Books
Bridge to America

My first historical novel;  to learn more click here.

The year is 1920 and the setting is a shtetl, a small village in northern Poland,
where Fivel and his family live in fear of the ruthless Cossacks and
unpredictable pogroms. As he and his mother, brother, and sisters struggle
to stay alive, nine-year-old Fivel is hungry, is cold, is a rascal, is goodhearted,
longs for his father, and is afraid for their lives. Will the money from America
ever come? Has their father forgotten about them, perhaps even found
another family? When will the next horrific Cossack raid come?

Here is an absorbing, ultimately hopeful novel that creates an unforgettable
portrait of a family, a time, and the bridging of two worlds.
