LEGACY OF HOPE (KISHINEV THREADS Book 2)

Legacy of Hope by Yehudah Brown is a sweeping historical epic that chronicles the Gans family’s transition from victims of the 1903 Kishinev Pogrom to active architects of the Jewish future across the 20th century. The narrative centers on the search for Rivka’s long-lost sister, Leeba, who—renamed Larissa—survives as a Soviet partisan while her heritage remains suppressed by Stalinist repression. This quest for family reunification unfolds alongside the birth and defense of the State of Israel, as Rivka’s children, Ken and Anne, fight through the formative 1948 War of Independence, the strategic triumphs of the 1967 Six-Day War, and the profound personal losses of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. By intertwining the secret operations of the Mossad and the courageous struggle of Soviet Refuseniks with the eventual diplomatic hope of the Camp David Accords, Brown masterfully illustrates a broader saga of identity, resilience, and the enduring bond of a diaspora determined to reclaim its past while securing its sovereignty.
