The Story of E
Who needs Hinge when you can be robbed?
A little scandalous, deeply spiritual, and uniquely its own genre — meta-fiction, semi-autobiography, something else again.
An ordinary burglary becomes a life-altering event when the insurance refuses to pay — and in walks the detective assigned to investigate it. What follows is one woman's year of unraveling and searching: a story of love, desire, and meaning, told through the lens of Chassidus and Hashgacha Pratis, the idea that nothing is random and you are always exactly where you're meant to be. Boy meets girl, they almost, they don't, they circle back. A fairy tale without a castle. As readable as it is unrelenting, it pulls you in from the four-thirty a.m. knock at the door and doesn't let go.
Whatever you think it is, it's not what you think it is.

Readers Say
"The Story of E is the perfect beach read for philosophy majors. All that juicy stuff—lust, tension, heartbreak—that makes a book easy to devour in one sitting (which I did). And underneath, real depth and the never-ending search for meaning. I'm patiently waiting for the Netflix series."
