Gentleman's Agreement
A landmark novel that ranked #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for five months straight, Gentleman’s Agreement speaks to the pervasive nature of prejudice after World War II—an issue just as relevant today as when the book was first published
Journalist Philip Green has just moved to New York City from California when the Third Reich falls. To mark this moment in history, his editor at Smith’s Weekly Magazine assigns Phil a series of articles on anti-Semitism in America. In order to experience anti-Semitism firsthand, Phil, a Christian, decides to pose as a Jew. What he discovers about the rampant bigotry in America will change him forever.

First Papers
For Stefan and Alexandra Ivarin, who moved from Russia to America nearly twenty years ago, becoming "American" is a lifelong project
Stefan and Alexandra Ivarin emigrated to America at the end of the nineteenth century. Russian Jewish socialists, the Ivarins are now established in a Long Island home designed, somewhat haphazardly, by Stefan. Despite their attempts at assimilation, the Ivarins find themselves still struggling to find a balance between their Russian roots and their American lives, between their past and their future--and those of their children.Based in part upon Hobson's own childhood, "First Papers" is a tender portrait of the tension between embracing a foreign culture full of opportunity while longing for a lost homeland.

A botched abortion left her functionally infertile, and after a string of bad relationships, Dori's prospects have seemingly dwindled to naught. Then comes the astonishing revelation that she is pregnant--by her married ex-lover.
Dori's options are limited. Fearful that her doctor will decline to oversee an illegitimate birth, or that she'll be forced into a hermitlike existence until the child is born, Dori confides in her married best friend, Celia Duke. Surprised by Celia's confidence and support, Dori decides to confront her predicament head-on.
