about her.
Returning to the United States,
Jenoff graduated from the University of
Pennsylvania Law School and, on Sept 4,
2001, she began working as an attorney.
Then came 9-11.
Jenoff suddenly realized that "I don't
have forever; she says, and that now,
right this moment and no longer, she
would have to seize her childhood
dream. That didn't mean living off noth-
ing but coffee and pretzels while she
wrote day and night, though. "I had
a lot of student loan debt, so I wrote
in the morning before going to work:'
Jenoff says. Her first book was The
Kommandant's
She quickly managed to find an agent
Securing a publisher was a different
story.
The first one said no.
The second one said no.
The third and the fourth and the fifth
and an additional 34 publishers said no.
It was April 8. Jenoff's agent was on
the phone.
"Are you calling to fire me?" the
author asked.

Shulem Deen: All Who Go Do Not
Hannah Nordhaus: American Ghost:
Return: A Memoir
As a member of one of Judaism's
most insular sects, the Skverer
Hasidim, Shulem Dean knew little
about the outside world. He was 18
when he wed in an arranged mar-
riage, and he and his wife had several
children.
But one day Deen did something
extraordinary: He turned on the radio.
What followed was a feverish inqui-
ry into the tenets of religious beliefs,
until, several years later, Deen found
that his faith had unraveled entirely.
A Family's Haunted Past in the Desert
Southwest
Among the regular guests to La
Posada, one of Santa Fe's most elegant
hotels, is Julia Schuster Staab. If you visit,
you'll recognize Julia by her preferred
method of communication: tossing vases
and disturbing anyone asleep. She's also
dead.
Almost 120 years after her death, Julia,
along with her Jewish husband, is the
subject of a new book by her great-great-
granddaughter. This fascinating true
account takes readers on a journey from
Julia's childhood in Germany to her years
in the American West — and the great
beyond.
