A unifying narrative for divided times, BENT TOWARD JUSTICE tells the story of Murray Schwartzman, a Polish Jew who survived the Holocaust and escaped to America. But while Schwartzman may have found respite from external conflict in his peaceful and supportive American Jewish community, he faces a new internal upheaval. An encounter with an apparently anti-Semitic doctor forces Schwartzman to confront his beliefs about Palestinians being the enemy of the Jewish people.

Martin Luther King Jr. believed the moral arc of the universe bends toward justice. BENT TOWARD JUSTICE embodies that theme with a story about a morally passionate man who begins to question his beliefs, leading him to discover he is guilty of the kind of prejudice that he so fervently despised. This story examines what it means to see people as the "other"; it challenges the reader to see past our biases and find our shared humanity.

Audiobook read by Ed Asner.
