Green Fences - A Novel [Hardcover]

"I'll tell you something, Batya. Everyone's jealous. Just when you think people would be happy at your success, instead they get jealous and sour about it." Ruth frowned.

Batya stifled an inner laugh. Does she even realize that I'm the number-one member of the Jealousy Club? And then, unexpectedly, another emotion bubbled up: anger.

Batya Sternheim has much to be grateful for a devoted husband, healthy kids, a Torah home.

But she also has a best friend, Ruth.

Ruth is popular and elegant, married to a real estate baron. Next to Ruth s glamorous world, Batya s life loses its luster. Her discontent seeps into her home, and her marriage spirals dangerously downward. Her husband Ari is willing to take drastic measures to save his family, but that alone won t be enough.
