\u201cI promise you, Mottel, I\u2019ll do my part. I promise you that I\u2019ll do all I can to ensure that the children grow up to be chassidim, yirei Shamayim, and lamdanim\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the harsh winds of the Haskalah blowing in the little town of Kr\u0101slava, Latvia, in 1925, Bunia Diamant knows that she wants to build a Torah home, and nothing her friends say can sway her. Hashem answers her tefillos with a beautiful chassidishe family, and she couldn\u2019t be happier. But then war breaks out, and life takes a drastic change for the worse. Can Bunia continue to follow her dreams even when everything goes horribly wrong?<\/p>\n
In this fascinating true story, Bunia and her family endure icy weather, hunger, and loss, but despite it all, they never lose sight of what\u2019s most important. From her childhood home in Latvia to shelichus in Finland, from exile in Siberia to the wilds of Uzbekistan, you won\u2019t be able to put down this book until you turn the last page. And that\u2019s a promise.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
