Other Things Being Equal

by Emma Wolf

Ruth Levice, a young woman from a wealthy Jewish family in San Francisco, finds herself drawn to Dr. Herbert Kemp. Their growing affection faces a significant obstacle: their different religious backgrounds. As their love deepens, Ruth must grapple with the expectations of her family and community, while Herbert navigates the complexities of a society where interfaith relationships were often met with disapproval. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and the pressures of societal norms, set against the backdrop of late 19th-century San Francisco.
