Beneath the Surface

A highly respected high school teacher, Chava Morgan has always prided herself on her deep-rooted ideals and firm sense of direction in life. When her longtime principal retires, she finds herself strangely at odds with the young new principal and her newfangled chinuch ideas. As the school year progresses, Chava is forced to confront deeply hidden parts of her personality as she encounters challenges in every facet of her life.

Her daughter, Shula Rabinowitz, a successful businesswoman, is her opposite in many ways. Shula's world, too, is shaken up when a brash competitor uses nefarious tactics to gain the upper hand. An attempt at reconciliation blows up in her face, threatening all she has built up.

With keen understanding and an incisive look at one of today's most relevant challenges, Sara Weiderblank weaves together a tapestry of real-life characters who discover that there is much more to life Beneath the Surface.
