Give or Take

Eli Schick has what it takes: the solutions, the connections, and the resources. Once and for all, this askan is going to solve Lakewood's biggest problems. Except that there are so many obstacles and so many people fighting him every step of the way. A wife who overextends herself, a daughter who takes more than her share, and a son whose shidduchim just aren't working out... Can Eli's efforts and goodwill overcome one difficulty after another? ONE ASKAN. ONE COMMUNITY. TOO MANY CHOICES. What a difference it makes when somebody cares. A pitch-perfect look at courage, forgiveness, second chances, and the power to start over. This sharply-observed novel is filled with compelling characters, crackling dialogue, and the truth one can find along the road less traveled.
