She authored “Puerto Ricans from Island to Mainland,” and “The Jews Helped Build America,” Her book, with Jona Lerman, “The Stone Pillow,” about the life of a pioneer in Israel, was runner-up for the National Jewish Book Awards, 2000. She moved to Florida in 1977 with her husband Alan, where she writes about the cultural scene. She now shares her time between New York and Palm Beach. “Lila’s Hamsa” is her first novel.
“Arlene Kurtis' story about a young woman trying to protect herself and her child from an abusive relationship, offers a unique view of a common dilemma. What makes this story so interesting is the character of the protagonist who manages to emerge from her debacles stronger and more committed to life than before. This is not only a worthwhile read that will keep the reader involved, it is a lesson in how to turn tragedy into happiness.”
