Local Boy Makes Good: Frederick "Rick" Reiken, who became a Bar Mitzvah at Temple B’nai Abraham in 1979, draws heavily on his local Jewish roots in two of his three highly acclaimed novels.  The New York Times named best seller The Lost Legends of New Jersey a “Notable Book” of the year and Day for Night was called “A Best Book of the Year" by the Washington Post.

Day for Night by Frederick Reiken
It is 1984.  (No accident.)  Separate narratives, geographically, historically, and emotionally diverse, slowly converge on Beverly Rabinowitz, who fled the Holocaust as a child.  Reiken is interested in exploring the surprising interconnectedness of life, but Day for Night is not just another multigenerational Jewish saga.  Beverly’s journey is startlingly universal.
