Chapter 17: The Bullfrog delves into the challenges faced by the Ahavat Achim congregation in Pottstown, especially in the wake of Chona's hospitalization.

Chapter 16: The Visit
Chapter 16: The Visit begins in a sterile hospital room in Reading, where Chona remains unconscious, her fragile state watched over by those closest to her. Though she cannot speak, her presence anchors Addie and Moshe, who trade brief but meaningful observations each morning. Addie insists she sees movement, slight signs of awareness, though doctors warn otherwise. Moshe, weary from his nighttime work at the theater and drained by grief, never questions her hope. His eyes remain locked on Chona’s face,…-

The presence of a diverse group of visitors, particularly wealthy Jews and several Black individuals, raises suspicion among the nurses, who aren’t used to this mix on their floor. For four days, Chona remains…-

Some claim the Jews tried to protect the child; others insist they called the police on him. These contradictions leave Fioria uneasy. Though she usually avoids town drama, this story…-

Chapter 15: The Worm
Chapter 15: The Worm begins with Mrs. Fioria Carissimi learning about a shocking incident involving a Jewish storekeeper and a deaf boy named Dodo from Vivana Agnello, the president of the Volunteer Women’s Association. Vivana had spread a rumor that the Jewish family had hidden Dodo in an attempt to extort money from the locals, yet paradoxically, they had still called the police on him.

Chapter 13: Cowboy
Chapter 13: Cowboy begins with Moshe leaning against the railing of the outdoor pavilion overlooking the Ringing Rocks skating rink, his mind lost in thought. Despite the laughter of teenage skaters and the soft snowfall around him, he feels distant and detached, clutching an unlit cigar.

Chapter 12: Monkey Pants
Chapter 12: Monkey Pants was the first individual Dodo encountered in Ward C-1. Positioned in the adjacent steel crib, only a few inches separated them. This boy, perhaps around eleven or twelve years old, was contorted in a manner that Dodo had never seen before, appearing as if he had been twisted into an impossible knot. His body, thin and frail, was curled in a grotesque configuration: one leg reaching nearly to his face, the other lost among a tangle of arms and legs, his hand stretched out to cover…-
