Boychik

By Laurie Boris

Brooklyn, 1932

Eli Abramowitz makes pickles and pastrami in his parents' deli in Williamsburg. Not a bad job during the Depression. His family is his whole world-almost. He spends every Sunday at the movies and hopes to hit it big as a Hollywood screenwriter. But how can he tell his parents that one day he'll be leaving?

Across town, Evelyn Rosenstein's father works for the mob-undoubtedly the reason they're doing so well. Definitely the reason she's not allowed farther than their mailbox unescorted. Even though her parents have chosen a husband for her, a family tradition, she fantasizes about a life in service to the unfortunate. But for the moment, she dreams of escape, if only for a few hours.

Opportunity strikes, and she ends up at the deli. Evelyn and Eli meet only briefly, but their instant connection tempts an unlikely, forbidden romance. When a charity dinner has them again crossing paths, danger follows. But will it shadow them into their futures?
