The Matchmaker's Gift by Lynda Cohen Loigman

Sara Glikman is ten years old when she makes her first match. On the boat coming to America in 1910, Sara sees the connection between her older sister, Hindel, and fellow passenger, Aaron. Three months later they marry. Since Sara is so young and is unmarried, she has to do her matchmaking in secret, because she doesn't want to anger the group of shadchans (professional Jewish matchmakers) in New York. After Sara passes away in 1994, her granddaughter, Abby, is given the journals and scrapbooks Sara kept of all her matches. In alternating storylines, the reader sees both Sara and Abby move through their lives. Sara, as she finds love for others and herself. Abby, as she realizes that she has the same gift as her grandmother. Will she use it or continue in her career as a divorce lawyer? The Matchmaker's Gift is an engaging story. Readers who enjoy historical fiction and multigenerational family stories should seek this one out.
