A trusted member of her
ultra-Orthodox Jewish community rapes fifteen-year-old Hannah in the back room
of a Brooklyn kosher butcher shop. Unwilling to succumb to her parents’ demand
that she blame a homeless black man, she runs away. Alone on unfamiliar New
York City streets and armed only with an indomitable spirit, quirky sense of
humor, and unyielding intolerance for hypocrisy and injustice, she confronts
adversity after adversity.
Blaming herself for having been
raped and bent on avoiding emotional intimacy, she becomes involved with an
enforcer for a Serbian mobster and embarks on a life of prostitution and hard
drugs. Then comes unexpected motherhood and a son she treasures. When he is
arrested on trumped up charges and almost killed in prison, her wide-ranging
client base, including hoods and feds, comes in handy. But her plan backfires,
her son is forever lost, and she is banished to an Appalachian backwater as a
protected witness. Depressed and alone, she rediscovers her childhood dream
of tikkun olam, repairing the world, and charts a path to justice
and redemption. All she has to do now is emerge from witness protection, outwit
vengeful hit men, and run for Congress in Tea Party country as a New York
Jewish former whore. Too bad about that quirky sense of humor and
unyeliding intolerance for hypocrisy and injustice.
