Set in the 1920s, the narrative follows Sara Smolinsky, a 10-year-old girl from a Polish immigrant family in New York City. Her father, an Orthodox rabbi, imposes traditional expectations on his daughters and wife, demanding their support while he dedicates himself to religious study. As Sara navigates her identity and the pressures of family obligations, the story explores themes of cultural conflict, gender roles, and the pursuit of independence.
