Summary of Andrew Klavan's The Great Good Thing

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in Great Neck, a wealthy town on the north shore of Long Island. The riches here were not inherited, but earned. The town was a haven for newly rich Jews in the 1950s, and they were in love with the dream of WASP American elegance. #2 In Great Neck, the Great Neck of my childhood, there was one central difference. While other towns, and the TV shows that represented them, had families that went to church on Sundays, Great Neck had families that went to synagogue. #3 I grew up in Great Neck, a town with a majority Jewish population. I never felt any animosity toward Jews, and I always thought of myself as an American. The idea that my Jewishness might somehow prevent me from being fully American never occurred to me. #4 I was an American, through and through. I was raised in Great Neck, a suburb of New York, and I was raised as an American. I was called to faith in Jesus Christ, and I was unsure if it was a real religious conversion or just the final stage in the process of assimilation that had begun in my hometown so long ago.
