    Summary: 
    Though he was often absent during her childhood, Deborah Tannen was profoundly influenced by her father's love of language and gift for writing and storytelling. She spent untold hours with her father, recording their conversations and taking notes. He handed her a journal he kept when he was young-- and showed her another he said she could have after his death, all for the account of his life she promised him she'd write. Here she fulfills her promise to her father, embarking on a quest to piece together the puzzle of her father's life from his memories of the Hasidic community in Warsaw that he was born into in 1908. Coming to understand her father's-- and her own-- relationship to Judaism, she also uncovers aspects of her father's life she would never have imagined. -- adapted from jacket
