About the book: A delightful story about a grandmother and her granddaughter.
Even as a 10-year-old immigrating to America, Sara realizes she has a special gift in knowing how to make wonderful matches between soulmates.
The problem is that the older Orthodox matchmaker men in New York’s lower east side see her as a dangerous threat to their traditions and livelihood. Sara must make her matches in secret, later fighting for the recognition she deserves.
Two generations later, Abby is a successful divorce attorney who inherits her grandmother’s journals with details of the matches she made. Reading the journals brings insights but also many doubts to Abby, who must now forge a new path of her own.
