It’s the spring of 1944, and 15-year-olds Reuven Malter and Danny Saunders have lived five blocks apart all their lives. But they’ve never met, not until the day an accident during a softball game sparks an unlikely friendship. Soon these two boys --- one expected to become a Hasidic rebbe, the other at ease with secular America --- are drawn into one another’s worlds despite one father’s strong opposition.
