From Sonia Chernoff, an elderly widow looking for closure, to Elaine, a therapist with a vengeance for her husband’s lover, Second Language is home to a charmingly eclectic collection of characters who share one thing in common: choices.
The humor, despair, and triumph of Wineberg’s characters find the reader alongside Lucy, who tries to deal with her mother’s illness while navigating her way through an adulterous affair. We also meet a doctor’s wife, Sofia, whose happenstance relationship with the doorman at their new apartment building imprints her life in ways she could never have imagined.
These characters face life-altering decisions, and when confronted with such adversity, they choose varying directions, ranging from forgiveness to revenge.

On Bittersweet Place

On Bittersweet Place is the powerful coming-of-age story of Lena Czernitski, a young Russian Jew whose family flees their homeland in the Ukraine after the October Revolution. The story unfolds in Chicago during the Jazz Age of the 1920s, where Lena’s impoverished family has settled and where she must traverse the early years of adolescence. Lena’s new world is large and beautiful and full of promise, but it is also cold and unwelcoming and laden with danger.
