Safekeeping + Pomegranate Tequila Punch
“Safekeeping” by Jessamyn Hope is a debut novel spanning generations and it immediately pulls the reader right into the story. We follow Adam, a drug addicted alcoholic from New York, as he arrives to a kibbutz in Israel. As the story unfolds, we find that Adam is trying to make up for past wrong doings by getting a valuable medieval pomegranate brooch to the women his grandfather loved fifty years earlier as a Holocaust refugee on that same kibbutz. Adam struggles to change the course of his life and make peace with himself, those around him, and his own personal saga. History, continents, and time are all skillfully woven together by way of the pomegranate brooch, but we also witness the very real struggle of people attempting to alter their own destinies and redeem themselves in one way or another.

Adam is a complex character who is trying to do his best, but keeps falling down. One of these reasons being that he is a drunk.

Pour yourself a refreshing glass of this punch, crack the spine of this read, and change your destiny.
