When fifteen - year - old Zeesl Levy finds herself a teacher for the girls of Woodland, an amazing small town comprised of only Jewish residents, little does she realize just how many lives will be changed as a result - and most of all, her own! From teaching Hebrew to grown women and girls in very unusual ways, to dealing with a suspicious character who seems to be following everyone around, to bringing an entire family closer to Yiddishkeit - and to each other - adventure and excitement are never far away from Zeesl! But nothing could have prepared her for her biggest surprise of all... BY: Sukey Gross
