When her parents decide to buy and move into the run-down Jewel Motor Inn in
upstate New York, it's not exactly eleven-year-old Miriam Brockman's dream. She
misses her familiar routine and life in Manhattan, especially Shabbat dinners with
friends and family.
It turns out that running a motel is a lot of hard work, but it's also a bit of an
adventure. Miriam befriends Kate, whose grandmother owns the diner next door,
and finds comfort in the company of Maria, the motel's housekeeper, and Father
Donovan, the local priest.

      Narrator Rachel Botchan irresistibly portrays 11-year-old Miriam Brockman and her family, who move from Manhattan to upstate New York to run a motel. As Miriam is doing her chores, she meets the Whitleys--including granddaughter Kate--who run a nearby diner. Jewish Miriam and Catholic Kate become fast friends who team up to help faltering businesses. As the girls learn about each other's religion, including the Brockmans' Shabbat prayers, Botchan is at her finest. When anti-Semitism rears its ugly head, the families fight back, and everyone benefits. This coming-of-age story, rich with appealing characters and situations, is a wonderful listening experience for those of all ages. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
