A Novel of
jewish resistance
When a charismatic Israeli prime minister signs a sweeping peace agreement with Palestinian leader Mansour Salameh, the world cheers. But the “one-state solution” quickly reveals itself as a trap. Jews are stripped of their jobs, their rights, and their freedom. Ghettos rise. Death camps are built in the desert.
Diana Weil, once Israel’s most celebrated television journalist, is reduced to reporting on household tips for a state-run propaganda channel. Sarah Marciano, a young tank driver, escapes a slave labor camp with knowledge of a monstrous secret. Itamar Levy, a Torah scholar and gifted pianist turned rebel commander, forges a clandestine army from the remnants of a shattered nation.
As the systematic extermination of Israel’s Jews accelerates, these unlikely heroes must find a way to warn their people, resist their oppressors, and rekindle the flame of a civilization on the edge of annihilation.

Joy is short-lived as the Nazi death machine roars down to destroy everything the five sisters value and everyone they love.
THE UGLY SISTER is a novel of the Holocaust that is different from any you have read before. The heroes and villains of this story are women just as they were in real life. Based on real people and events, it comes alive today, because we live in a world where anti-Semitism is again on the rise, and where women are still so far from realizing their human potential.
Read about the love and faith that can bind a family, and the envy and betrayal that can rip it apart.
