A Cobbler's Tale: Jewish Immigrants Story of Survival, from Eastern Europe to New York's Lower East Side - Hardcover
Synopsis
A huge wave of Eastern European migration is hitting the New World.
It's 1910. Pincus Potasznik, a Jewish cobbler, has left his pregnant wife and three small children to sail for America. His goal is to seek a new life for his family in the burgeoning Lower East Side of Manhattan.
On his traumatic voyage across the Atlantic on the SS Amerika steamship, Pincus meets Jakob Adler, a young man running from an accidental murder of a notorious crime boss in Warsaw. Opportunities await them in New York, but it's not an easy time for Jewish immigrants.
A few years later, while enjoying the spoils of his business and helped along with Jakob's unlawful contributions, Pincus realizes he made a terrible mistake. But the opportunity to return to his family has almost closed due to the outbreak of World War 1. Now he must face a decision, should he risk going back to Europe to rescue them from a war they could all die in, or is it better to wait in New York and build his fortune?
Born in a small shtetl in the province of Galicia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Pincus has yearned all his life for wealth and the freedom it will bring, but what price will he have to pay for his dreams?
As the bloody battles of World War I explodes within miles of the family home, in a small village called Krzywcza, Moshe, the son of Pincus and Clara Potasznik, discovers a divine ability to foretell dire events, and to offer comfort to those in pain, taking us deep into the world of ancient Jewish mysticism, known as the Kabbalah.
Will Pincus do the right thing? And can Moshe foresee what's to come for his own family?

About the Author
Neil Perry Gordon achieved his goal of an author of historical fiction with his first novel - A Cobbler's Tale, published in the fall of 2018. With dozens of reviews praising his writing style, he released his second novel - Moon Flower the following year.
His creative methods and inspiration has been described as organic, meaning that he works with a general premise for his characters and plot, without a formal, detailed outline. This encourages his writing to offer surprising twists and unexpected outcomes, which readers have celebrated.
These two novels also have the attributes of being driven by an equal balance between character development and action scenes, which moves the stories along at a page-turning pace.
Due for release in the summer of 2019, is Neil's sequel to A Cobbler's Tale. The Righteous One is a spiritual adventure story of Moshe the Cobbler, a gentle sixty-year old tzaddik who is called upon to awaken his divine connection to the Almighty in order to destroy the gangster and rasha - Solomon Blass who invokes Kabbalah's dark side to wield his nefarious powers.
Moshe learns that the final battle must take place in the dream world where the rasha moves about freely, but where the tzaddik must first receive training from ancient mystical forces in order to eliminate the evil force.
The author has attributed his love for the creative process from his education from his formative years spent learning to learn at the Green Meadow Waldorf School.

Neil Perry Gordon's novels also have the attributes of being driven by an equal balance between character development and face-paced action scenes, which moves the stories along at a page-turning pace.
Both of these previous novels have encouraged Neil's shift in genre into the realm of metaphysical-fiction with his new novel The Righteous One, a sequel to A Cobbler's Tale. According to the author, this genre explores the possibilities of magic realism, where the supernatural is part of our tangible reality.
The author has attributed his love for the creative process from his education from his formative years spent learning-to-learn at the Green Meadow Waldorf School.
