The Scribe by Uri Raskin

The Scribe is a special story that recognizes our yearnings to do good in the world, if only we weren't so busy with life. Through its pages, you share Raizy's tears as she agonizes over her son, who stumbles trying to find his place in life, and her boundless joy when everything finally falls into place. Accompanying Ezra nightly as he soars to untold heights, we discover inside ourselves life's true meanings.

And when the last word is read, you'll keep rereading the final pages, unable to part from the new friends you've made: Dov, trying to possess the skills needed to master his own young life; Ezra, seeking a serenity that an unyielding life refuses to grant him; Moshe, stumbling at fatherhood until Ezra's gentle touch moves him closer to his son; and most memorable of all, Raizy. Though her life isn't going as smoothly as she would desire, Raizy nevertheless retains a mother's faith in her son, utilizing her sincerity, warmth, and love until the end.
