About this ebook

“Which tune do I dance to?” the little boy asked.
“We all dance to God’s music,” the nun replied.

This is the story of a tenth generation Catholic-American on his mother’s side, a second generation Jewish-American on his father’s side and his Search for Identity. Victor Holland dances to many tunes: Tough Street Kid, High School Failure, Combat Marine, Railroad Conductor, Auctioneer, Businessman, Candidate for a Rabbinical College, Emigrant to Israel, Teacher and High School Principal, City Councilman and Best Selling Author.

God is Victor’s musician, choreographer and partner, leading him through four wars, an intense and complicated love affair, intellectual awakening, religious revitalization and paternal conflict. The last melody leaves Victor and God in hand to hand combat as partners on the Dance Floor of Life.

This novel is written by Dov Silverman, Best-Selling novelist, international literary prize winner and historical researcher. Having written twenty novels Dov uses his experience talents, researched information of personal and formal letters, family diaries, and tape recordings, radio and TV broadcasts spanning half a century of American, Korean and Israeli history to bring you an emotion-filled saga of a man, his wife and their Search For Identity.

Author

Dov Silverman

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Dov Silverman has served as a U.S. Marine in the Korean War, worked as a Long Island railroad conductor, been an auctioneer, and even established the Autar Microfilm Service. While working so hard on the railroad, he earned his high school diploma and went on to graduate from Stony Brook University, Long Island, New York, cum laude, at the age of 39. He and his family settled in Safed, Israel in 1972. He credits a spiritual meeting with God and a Tzaddik (righteous man), Jules Rubinstein, in the Brentwood (New York) Jewish Center, with setting him on the path of study, religious involvement and settlement in Israel. His novel, FALL OF THE SHOGUN, appeared on the London Times Best-Seller List and has been published in multiple languages. He also won a 1988 Suntory Mystery Fiction Award, Japan, for REVENGE OF THE GOOD SHEPHERDS.
