About This Book

An alternate history novel that imagines isolationist Charles Lindbergh defeating Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1940 presidential election. The narrative follows a Jewish family in Newark as they witness the United States' gradual descent into state-sponsored anti-Semitism and fascism. Through a fictionalized childhood memoir, the book explores ethnic identity and the terrifying fragility of democratic institutions.
