Sample Book Insights:
#1 My father, an NBA player, was very religious, and so was my mother. They had me circumcised between two road trips so he could be present for the ceremony. The ceremony was held at our home in northern New Jersey.
#2 I was scrawny and pale with a jagged bowl haircut and a cluster of misshapen freckles on each cheek. My protruding ears and rashy skin tied the unfortunate look together nicely. I was roughly five years old. I loved this game.
#3 I had a dad who was a executive with the Knicks, and he took me to practices with him on the weekends. I was obsessed with basketball, and I learned about the lives of the two players I most admired, Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.
#4 My childhood was full of love and laughter, but I struggled with my sensitivity. I developed a nervous tic in my eyes, which was from stress. I was eight years old. My father was a celebrity, and I was expected to live up to his reputation.

Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The new binary of die or survive was symbolized by the Holocaust, and Anyu’s childhood was symbolized by a fistful of sour cherries and overflowing pockets of porcini mushrooms.

#2

The family provided precise utility for each other. The cow provided milk, the turkey meat, the horse muscle, and the chicken eggs. The sheep provided wool and milk, and the duck gave meat, feathers, and schmaltz.

#3

Anyu’s family was the epitome of normalcy. They had a loving family, a tall tree, and an endless supply of sweet, juicy cherries. Anyu was the first to die in the Holocaust, killed in a labor camp in Ukraine in 1942.

#4

Anyu was the only member of her family to survive the Holocaust.
