Title: Like never before
Description: A young boy in World War II is compelled to make a terrible choice: abandon his brother and save himself, or reveal his identity and face certain capture by the Nazis. A woman enjoying a private moment by her window is visited by New York City detectives, who tell her a murder has been committed directly across from her apartment, and finds her marriage irreparably changed by the news. An elderly man, on the last night of his life, discovers his kitchen has been invaded by raucous, hungry ghosts.

At the center of these stories is David, a man poised at midcareer and at the cusp of midlife, torn by his break with his Orthodox Jewish past, achingly uncertain of the future.
