AUDIENCE: • All readers, especially women, ages 25-60 and those of Jewish heritage, which is a market of millions and a high percentage share the novel’s history.
• About 5 million people now in the US are Jewish by religion, descent or affinity (*2013 Pew Research Survey).
• Over 2 million of the 9 million immigrants in the major wave (1881 to1914) were Eastern European Jews from the Pale of Settlement, a group with the lowest (7%) return rate of any immigrant sector. (**Jewish Women’s Archive)
