Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart: Extraordinary Coincidences from Yesterday and Today

There's nothing ""small"" about the huge success that Yitta Halberstam and Judith Leventhal's Small Miracles series has enjoyed. With over a million copies sold, the series' heartwarming true-to-life stories have clearly struck a chord. In August, Adams Media Corporation releases the fifth in the series (and the first to be directed at a particular religious tradition): Small Miracles for the Jewish Heart. Like its predecessors, its strength lies in personal stories: a warm and funny tale about a mother's quest for a Cabbage Patch doll (whose assigned name turned out to be a hybrid of the names of both of the child's deceased grandmothers); a chilling what-if story about a man who narrowly escaped death on September 11.
