Book excerpt: "A journey through the lives of young Eastern European Jews that's not to be missed." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) How do we come to be who we are spiritually? How does our political and social environment influence our development of self? A young American author immerses herself in modern Jewish Hungary. The twenty-one stories she shares will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you want to be your own best self. Somehow I Am Different provides an opportunity to connect in a world that otherwise begs us to stand alone. This book serves as a reminder that in spite of the factors working against us, we have the power to make a difference. In their own words, Hungarian participants will tell you that "Instead of emphasizing our victimhood, we should really tell another story" (Tamas Buchler) and "Maybe I am not perfect, but I am me. At least I am me." (Devora Hurwitz)."
