Angels Always Come On Time

My father was only a child when, in the winter of 1879, he said goodbye to his home in Poland and, with his mother, father and two sisters, began an overland journey that brought them, three months later, to the gates of Jerusalem.

Thus, the Linder family saga begins, and continues, four generations and 100 years later, on the shores of America.

In a unique blend of the historical and the personal, ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME tells the story of a young, Hasidic boy coming of age in the ultra-orthodox community in Jerusalem in the early 20th century.

With wit and insight, he writes of lives rich in pathos, humor, and hope.

Though intensely personal, ANGELS ALWAYS COME ON TIME possesses a grand and universal sweep, for its stories show men and women who, enduring poverty and war and uncertainty, remain ever optimistic as they search for their place in the world.
