The Other: The Linotype Legacy

FINALIST - Fiction: Religious 2019 Best Book Awards

With a cast of colorful New York characters, The Other: The Linotype Legacy follows terrorists and crime bosses, Homeland Security agents and police inspectors, Orthodox Jews and committed Christians--and a Messianic Jewish synagogue. All the while, we ponder the philosophical question, who is The Other?

As we track the bittersweet relationship between dutiful daughter Naomi Kaplan and handsome detective Darrin Brock--as well as others, both familiar and unfamiliar--a deeply affecting and poignant story unfolds. No one who begins The Other: The Linotype Legacy will easily put it down.
