ISBN:  9780316400725 (hc.) 0316400726 (hc.) Alternate title:  Not a love story : a memoir Edition:  First Edition. Description:  v, 343 pages ; 22 cm Summary:  The third of six children in a family that harks back to a gloried Hassidic dynasty, Judy Brown grew up with the legacy of centuries of religious teaching, and the faith and lore that sustained her people for generations. But her carefully constructed world begins to crumble when her "crazy" brother Nachum returns home after a year in Israel living with relatives. Though supposedly "cured," he is still prone to retreating into his own mind or erupting in wordless rages. The adults' inability to make him better - or even to give his affliction a name - forces Judy to ask larger questions: If God could perform miracles for her sainted ancestors, why can't He cure Nachum? And what of the other stories her family treasured? Judy Brown was raised in a world of Chassidic schools, synagogues, and summer camps and is a direct descendant of some of the major founders and leaders in the Chassidic world. Her novel "Hush" was written using the pseudonym Eishes Chayil. The novel dealt with sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox community, and is a fictionalized account of her own childhood as a Hasidic Jew. A year later, she revealed her identity as the author. Judy Brown received her MFA from Bar Ilan University in Israel, and has been a writer of both Jewish fiction and non-fiction for over 10 years. She lives in New York City. Genre:  Memoirs.
