Publisher's Synopsis
SONNETS OF SETBACK AND HOPE is a collection of sonnets written by author Judith Weinshall Liberman when she was ninety-two years old. The book is Ms. Liberman's fifth book of poems. Before writing the sonnets presented in this book, she had published four books of poems: REFLECTIONS (with her daughter, Laura Liberman, M.D.) in 2012, PASSION in 2013, and both SONNETS OF LOSS AND TRIUMPH and SONNETS OF PAIN AND FORGIVENESS in 2021. She had also published a book titled ZINA (2013) about her mother's life and poetry. The story of Moses, as told in the Old Testament, plays an important part in the sonnets contained in the present book. Moses' perseverance in the face of adversity and his unshakable hope make him a leader to be admired. This book conveys some of the important lessons Ms. Liberman has learned during her long life.
