A Butterfly on the Gowanus Expressway

Bag om A Butterfly on the Gowanus Expressway

Daniel Kaplan is a renowned rabbi and a well-known leader of his community. One morning, an Episcopal priest arrives at his door. That priest is the rabbi's son, but the rabbi had no idea that he had fathered a son years before. In a different time, in a different life, twenty-five years before that fateful morning, Daniel Kaplan had loved a woman. They were in the Navy together and this love of his life, his fiancée, married another man without telling him. She also didn't tell him that she was carrying his son. Over those twenty-five years, Daniel Kaplan quietly remained in love with this woman and lived his life. His life became one of tangled emotions. He became an intelligence officer and became involved in the surreal world of covert activities. Daniel then became a rabbi, a naval chaplain, and finally the head of a major synagogue in Brooklyn. Married with a family of his own, he is loved and trusted by his community. How Daniel copes with this astonishing news is intermingled with memories of war and a spy drama in his life, as well as visits from the spirits of the Patriarchs. Daniels troubles become his strengths in this remarkable love story that pits old emotions against new loves and the families that he loves.
