“In the wry and witty voice of retiree Elaine Greenstein, author Janice Steinberg brings the bygone Jewish immigrant L.A. neighborhood of Boyle Heights to vibrant life. Part mystery, part sister story, part family history, The Tin Horse is a completely immersive reading experience. I closed the pages feeling as though I’d lived another life.”

“I’ve just finished reading The Tin Horse for the 3rd time.  (I facilitate book clubs, so I have to be very familiar with a novel each time I lead a discussion on it). With each reading, I am finding more and more to admire in the book. This last reading brought to mind more discussion questions than ever. I love your book!”
