Eight stories range across Jewish life in the United States and Israel. In the title story two women who were close as girls meet again in South Florida: one has become ultra-Orthodox and lives in Israel with a strict husband, the other has married a secular Jew, who narrates as an afternoon of marijuana turns their talk to faith and survival. 'Sister Hills' traces a settlement in Israel from its bloody beginnings to a quiet commuter town, and 'Camp Sundown' puts the director of a holiday camp for elderly Jews before questions of guilt and revenge. Another story tells of a family in sixty-three numbered fragments, and others return to desire and to ingenuity in hard times.
