Alive and Beating / a conversation with Rebecca Wolf

Six lives. One city. A phone call that will change everything.

In Alive and Beating, Rebecca Wolf brings us to Jerusalem just days before Passover, where six diverse characters balance family, work, and life-threatening illnesses. After a devastating bus bombing, an organ donation sets off a question that drives the novel: who will get the call that saves their life?

Join me on Nice Jewish Books for a conversation with Rebecca Wolf about grief, grit, and the fragility of hope.
