In this powerful memoir, Rachel Goldberg-Polin tells the story of her son Hersh, one of the hostages kidnapped in Israel on October 7 and killed a year later. Rachel, her husband Jon, and their three children moved from the United States to Israel in the mid-2000s, and this book explores the lives of Rachel and her family before Hersh was taken, as well as the terrifying aftermath. This is an extremely sad book and a moving tribute from a mother to her son.
