When her family is destroyed in a Russian pogrom, Lillian comes to America alone, determined to make her way in a new land.

End of the Alphabet, by C. S. Richardson

It tells the story of a marriage in 119 undersized pages. A middle-aged man in London is told he has one month to live. He decides that he and his wife will spend it traveling to the places he has most loved or longed to see. They'll go by way of the alphabet: A is for Amsterdam, B is for Berlin, C is for Chartres.The writing borders on precious, but it comes back to earth at all the right places? Bob Minzesheimer, USA TODAY
