Join your Temple Emanuel community on Zoom as we kick off a new year of adult learning with our opening lecture. TE member Judy Bolton-Fasman introduces us to her debut novel, “Asylum: A Memoir of Family Secrets.” Judy will be in conversation with Rabbi Michelle Robinson. Temple Emanuel has a “role” in this novel. Come find out what it is!
How much do we really know about the lives of our parents and the secrets lodged in their past? Bolton-Fasman’s fascinating saga recounts the search for answers to the mysteries embedded in the lives of her Cuban-born mother, Matilde Alboukrek Bolton, and her elusive, Yale-educated father, K. Harold Bolton.
Readers will relish every step and stage of Judy’s investigations and will begin to share in her obsession to obtain answers to the mysteries that have haunted her life. The suspense, the clairvoyant prophecies, the discoveries, the new leads, the dead-ends, the paths not taken—all capture our attention in this absorbing and fascinating memoir.
“‘Asylum’ is a deeply moving memoir that investigates the ever-complicated knot of familial love, loss and longing. Judy Bolton-Fasman beautifully captures that urge so many of us have to better understand those loved ones who were close to us yet nonetheless eluded our grasp.” —Tova Mirvis, author of “Visible City” and “The Book of Separation: A Memoir”
“Asylum” is Bolton-Fasman’s debut book and will be published at the end of the month. You can order the book on her publisher’s website, Mandel Vilar Press, Amazon and Bookshop.org. You can also be review it on Goodreads.
