From birth, David Rozinsky fought to belong, first within his dysfunctional family: a mother who hated him and favored his twin brother, and a milquetoast father who obediently kept his distance. As he matured he found that he must pay for acceptance, undeniable freedoms, and creature comforts with barbs of intolerance and a threatened loss of identity.
When he and his wife finally say "enough" and emigrate to Israel, the struggle for a place to belong takes on a different reality, as they try to adjust to a foreign mentality and David fights to pierce the bond between ex-army cronies, who feel threatened by his talents and special skills. At the end comes the question: "Which world will he choose?"
Author Bio: Although this book is not autobiographical, it is an outgrowth of I. F. Rose’s experiences. In his youth, he did spend time on a Baron de Hirsch farm in Connecticut; he did serve on the Italian front during World War II; he was an engineer in the American aerospace industry, which included testing the huge Atlas engines used on the Saturn moon program; he did eventually emigrate to Israel in 1968 with his wife and four children, where he worked as a reliability engineer for a company similar to the one depicted in the book.
