Joshua: A Brooklyn Tale Kane AndrewPaperback
Against a backdrop of racial tensions and spanning four decades, JOSHUA: A Brooklyn Tale explores the entanglements of three lives: Joshua Eubanks, a young black man struggling to overcome the crime, drugs, and despair of the streets; Rachel Weissman, daughter of a Hassidic rabbi, wrestling pangs of rebelliousness against the insular and restrictive practices of her religion; and Paul Sims, the product of a privileged Long Island Jewish family, yearning to escape his troubled past. Over the years their bond intensifies, though their lives diverge. Joshua first encounters Rachel in the local synagogue, where he works as an assistant to the custodian.
Joshua kills a man in self-defense and is alienated from his own community. Rachel aspires to be a doctor, a blasphemous choice for a woman in her culture. Paul leaves his home to find solace in the Hasidic enclave of Crown Heights. From
