Harris eventually found a Lubavitcher couple willing to open their home to extended observation. Over four years, Harris visited them in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, N.Y., where 15,000 Lubavitchers live. The pseudonymous central figure of Harris' book is Housewife "Sheina Konigsberg," not a born-and-bred Hasid but a baalat teshuvah (female "returnee").

One night, on a yacht excursion with his dad and uncle, Sandro falls overboard and, when his absence isn't noticed, prepares to die. He calls "Papa!" for help, whispers "Mama...
...DEFEATED. SILENT WITNESS, 5, by stablemate Bullish Luck in the Hong Kong Champions Mile; in Hong Kong. First sold for the bargain price of $39,000, the Australian-bred sprinter has won more than $6 million in career earnings and scored 17 consecutive victories, eclipsing the record of 16 held by champions Ribot, Citation and Cigar.
