An evocative and page-turning multigenerational debut that uncovers the sins of the past and lays them bare. Can the sins of prior generations be forgiven? Or are they doomed to play out in the present no matter how hard we try to escape the unthinkable?At a time when ethnic discrimination pervades Brooklyn, Tony and Ruth fall in love, risking everything they hold dear. Both hold tight to their secrets as their romance unfolds into a beautiful, but hidden, love story. Ruth, a conservative Jewish wife, strives to break free from her abusive marriage and deeply rooted cultural traditions.

They are both forced to make the hardest decisions of their lives and risk losing everything they love to build a life together. Finding refuge with Tony’s parents, they are determined to mend their splintered family and build a successful life together. But long-held family secrets can’t be hidden forever. A violent altercation compels a notorious crime boss to seek retribution, and Tony is forced to make an agonizing choice that has loomed in his past for decades: How far is he willing to go to protect those he loves?Can Tony and Ruth survive under the crushing weight of vengeance?Set in the 1950s, In The Name of Family is about trust and loyalty - when it’s good, it’s great, but what happens when it turns on you?
