Becoming Becca Solomon: A Heart-Wrenching Novel of Love and Forgiveness

Can a daughter ever truly be free of her mother’s shadow? 1947, Lower Manhattan. Becca Rivkin is tired of being a “nice Jewish girl.” At fifteen, she becomes the sole provider of her ultra-Orthodox Jewish family, yet nothing is good enough for her abusive mother, Frieda. Trapped in an endless cycle of pain and neglect, Becca feels hopeless about her future. Abandoned by her father and ignored by her siblings, she finds solace in her older brother. Yet everything changes the day he is killed in a tragic shooting. As her world is turned upside down, Becca is desperate to escape her mother’s oppression. To Frieda’s dismay, she leaves home to marry David Solomon, a secular WWII veteran dealing with his own trauma. But when David turns violent, Becca fears her dark past is back to haunt her. Becca knows that sticking to the familiar isn’t always safe. But is she ready to risk losing the only life she knows? Or will she gather the broken pieces of her life and build something new for herself? Becoming Becca Solomon is a poignant exploration of a courageous woman’s pursuit of self-fulfillment and liberation from the strict traditions and rigid community of her upbringing.
