Welcome to the Jeremy Bruder Memorial Library!

Ani, journeying across a great distance accompanied by a stolen kitten, meets many people along her way, but her encounters only convince her that she is meant to keep searching. Annamae, journeying from childhood to young adulthood alongside her mother, older brother, and the denizens of her Manhattan neighborhood, never outgrows her yearning for a friend she cannot describe. From their different worlds, Ani and Annamae reach across the divide, perhaps to discover—or perhaps to create—each other.

Told in two mirrored narratives that culminate in a new beginning, To & Fro unleashes the wonders and mysteries of childhood in a profound exploration of identity, spirituality, and community.

Cohen's lyrical prose brings to life the children at the heart of these mirrored stories. Readers of all ages will delight in the author's ability to capture the essence of growing up, and the bittersweet passage of time.

To & Fro is a celebration of the small moments that shape our lives and the invisible threads that connect us to our loved ones, even when we're far apart.  It reminds us of the joys and mysteries of childhood and recalls the ubiquitous desire to find one’s place in this world.
