Help Me Hannah

By Barbara Pressman

Hannah Altman's husband has died as the Great Depression descends on her family, her friends, and her community. How will Hannah feed her two young children? How will she pay her rent? How will she make her way in the world?

As Hannah struggles to answer these questions, her feisty friend, Tessie, faces her own challenges- a violent husband and a serious health crisis. Each week, the two women meet to talk and support each other over tea and mandel bread in Hannah's kitchen.

As she works to rebuild her life, Hannah gets a rare opportunity at a small, struggling newspaper. She becomes an advice columnist, whose weekly column, Help Me Hannah, provides guidance for those who must navigate the immigrant experience in New York City.

Help Me Hannah is a book about family, love, loyalty, and friendship. Written in the first person, it follows Hannah Altman's journey-from helplessness and despair to success and contentment.
