    About this ebook

    When Lee Ann Revell, a newspaper reporter for the Charleston Courier, receives an assignment to interview Rabbi Jacob Rabinowitz for a story on latch-key kids in 1999, she feels an immediate attraction to the tall, dark, and handsome man.

    Lee Ann and the Rabbi are opposites. He, of course is Jewish, and she was raised Southern Baptist. She wore her blonde hair in a French braid, and he wore a yarmulke that did not conceal his luxuriant black hair. The rabbi is a Yankee, and she is as Southern as corn bread. In the South, that difference could be as important as religious beliefs. Even though there are differences, the couple finds themselves drawn to each other, despite the many taboos, including the fact the rabbi is already married. Lee Ann and Jacob fall deeply in love.

    Set in colorful Charleston, South Carolina,Her Rabbi, a short story, offers a look at forbidden romance and its realities.

      Dedicated to Paul L. Johnson

      Wrapped in a pink chenille robe, she stumbled out into the unforgiving morning light to pick up the newspaper. Like many people, Lee Ann did that every day. Her approach to the paper never varied. She glanced at the front page of the Charleston Courier before pulling out the Metro section.

      Lee Ann Revell looked for her byline every morning. She’d written stories for the paper since being hired five years before. She still thrilled to the sight of her name in bold print atop a story about the community. Like most reporters, she couldn’t wait for her baby to hit the streets—and her doorstep—so she could get a whiff of fresh printer’s ink.

      On that morning, a familiar face stared back at Lee Ann from Metro. It was a face she’d never forget. The shot was obviously posed, one of those pictures a newspaper keeps on file. When hard-breaking news hits, the photo file saves the editor money and time. No effort need be made to create a shot to fit the story. And sometimes it’s too late to take a new one.

      The rabbi was actually more handsome than the face looking back at her from the paper might have suggested. She turned back toward the house with her tall, thin figure slightly bent.
