Een contract met God #[nn]

In *Een contract met God*, Frimme Hersh makes a solemn promise to God during his perilous journey from Europe to America—swearing to live a righteous life if granted safe passage. After settling into a New York tenement, he’s confronted with a mysterious gift: a baby girl left on his doorstep, whom he raises with devotion, only to lose her to illness. Shattered by grief, Frimme’s faith shatters with her death, and he renounces his vow in fury, casting his sacred contract to the wind.
