At various times in history colonies of Jews have gone to China and lived there. The city of K'aifeng, in the province of Honan, was a center for them. This novel may be said to be historically true, although the characters, are the creation of Pearl S. Buck's imagination. The story takes place at the period about a century ago, when the Chinese had accepted the Jews, and when indeed, most Jews had come to think of themselves as Chinese. Today even the memory of their origin is gone. They are Chinese.

This sensitive and compelling autobiography resonates above its time, place and original purpose to lament a human condition.

Attorney Jed. H. Abraham explodes the myths about divorce in this candid, often caustic, book about the ways in which divorce laws are unfair to men. Drawing upon his extensive experience, Abraham sketches a compelling picture of what men can expect during court battles over alimony, child support, division of preperty, and charges of domestic violence. Forget your illusions about amicable separation and fair divorce laws, says Abraham, as he details the economic and emotional hardships that beset many men during, and long after, the divorce process.

But From Courtship to Courtroom is also a helpful guide to men who want to avoid the drain of divorce. At first suggesting that they not marry at all, but also acknowledging that they will, Abraham warns men to prepare before marriage fo rthe worst that might happen if the knot unravels. He makes concrete, feasible, sugggestions about selecting the right mate, pre-nuptial agreements, spousal bank accounts, and how to change the law. Any man considering marriage, or going through divorce, will want to read this book.
