“Do you know what I realized?” continued Akiva, glancing sideways at Simcha’le. “Winners aren’t always those who have the last word in an argument.” Simcha’le gazed at him with wide eyes. “There are all kinds of winners.” Akiva nodded. “True winners are those who stick to their goal and succeed, with Hashem’s help. Winners are those who know what they can accomplish and how to achieve what they want to.” The year 1915 isn’t an easy one, especially in war-torn, poverty-stricken Yerushalayim. Life for the Levin family is full of twists and turns. Dangers lurk , both outside and inside. The way to survive and win is to see Hashem’s smile in every struggle. Rounding the Bend brings alive the challenges in Eretz Yisrael during WWI. Through the exciting drama and adventure of those times, we learn lessons for even our day — the secret toward perseverance, optimism, faith, and happiness. Pages: 336 - Dimensions: 9" x 6"
