My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"In America, they don’t let you burn. My mother told me that."
I have to start by saying, Wow. This is a very powerful, well written, heartbreaking novella featuring fascinating Jewish mythology, folklore and great characters.

As soon as I started reading Deborah's story, I was hooked. Deborah learned everything she knows about healing and helping people from her grandmother. Although there seemed to be peace for a while, everything soon falls apart and her and her sister Shayna leave Poland to go to the New World. But there are some things not even a new location can banish from a cursed family.
No matter how hard she tries, some demons will always come out on top. :(
I loved Deborah's voice, and enjoyed going through her terrible ordeals. She was so positive and determined in the face of danger that I was constantly hopeful for her.
The sheer horror of this story was sad, heartbreaking, even devastating... but I absolutely loved it.
This is another terrific TOR.com story!
