Jeanne's Story

About the Book

When Jeanne Holt meets Seymour Braman on July 4, 1936, sparks fly, and they feel an immediate connection in spite of their disparate backgrounds. Jeanne, a young Jewish woman from New York City, and Seymour, a WASP from an old New England family, met at Jeanne’s mother’s inn in Shelburne, New Hampshire where it all began. Jeanne’s daughter, Jane Allen, tells of the love that was woven from their two lives that is still felt through the generations. In so doing, she paints a portrait of a family’s life during the twentieth century.
