I have a change of pace book that I am reading also,"Haven".This is book that is well written about 2000 Jewish refugees[true story] that were sent by FDR to Oswego,NY[home of Dr.Mary Walker] to Fort Ontario for a safe haven during WW-2.Fort Ontario was used in the American Revolution and Civil War to guard against invasion in the Great Lakes Region.This book tells a rare story of a Jewish Exodus to thier Haven!
