When American Jewish men intermarry, goes the common assumption, they and their families are "lost" to the Jewish religion. The author shows that it is not necessarily so. She looks at intermarriage and parenthood through the eyes of a post-World War II cohort of Jewish men and discovers what intermarriage has meant to them and their families.

Over the last century, American Jews married outside their religion at increasing rates. By examining the intersection of intermarriage and gender across the twentieth century, this book describes the lives of Jewish women who intermarried while placing their decisions in historical context.
