Amer­i­can Moses fol­lows the mem­bers of a small town left with­out hope when their only syn­a­gogue is burnt down. Dev­as­tat­ed and won­der­ing what’s next, Southie Lewis, a sec­u­lar Jew and the town’s local bot­tom-scrub­ber, offers to lead them to Las Vegas, pur­port­ed as the next Amer­i­can Promise Land. When his Jamaican-Amer­i­can wife, Zip­py, reluc­tant­ly agrees to pack up their two chil­dren and leave the only home she’s known, Southie must find a way to lead a car­a­van of rag-tag con­gre­gants as they ven­ture west toward an increas­ing­ly uncer­tain life. Writ­ten with zaftig wit and a touch of calami­ty, Amer­i­can Moses is a star­tling debut nov­el that tells the inspi­ra­tional sto­ry of Jews through the metaphor­ic desert of the Amer­i­can expe­ri­ence. Inspired by true events, this sto­ry cap­tures con­tem­po­rary Amer­i­cana with humor, pas­sion and a sense of adventure.
