Rebecca is a thirteen year-old girl about to have her Bat Mitzvah, but she isn't even sure she wants to be Jewish. When she discovers a magical talisman wrapped in her great-great- grandfather's tallis (prayer shawl), the ghosts of her ancestors begin to show up. She wants to send the dead back to where they belong, but they have other plans. As she searches for a way to unlock the power of the talisman, she is pulled into a journey she could never have imagined, and along the way discovers the true meaning of family.
