520    The golden willow was the first tree we had planted when 
       we came here to live, and Ruby and I had good reason for 
       doing that. Only it was a secret that we kept to 
       ourselves. Harry Bernstein started chronicling his life at
       the age of ninety-four, after the death of his beloved 
       wife, Ruby. In his first book, The Invisible Wall, he told
       a haunting story of forbidden love in World War Iera 
       England. Then Bernstein wrote The Dream, the touching tale
       of his familys immigrant experience in Depression-era 
       Chicago and New York. Now Bernstein completes the saga 
       with The Golden Willow, a heart-lifting memoir of his life
       with Ruby, a romance that lasted nearly seventy years. 
       They met at a dance at New Yorks legendary Webster Hall, 
       fell instantly and madly in love, and embarked on a rich 
       and rewarding life together. From their first tiny rented 
       room on the Upper West Side to their years in Greenwich 
       Village, immersed in the art scene, surrounded by dancers,
       musicians, and writers, to their life in the newly 
       burgeoning suburbs, Harry and Ruby pursued the American 
       dream with gusto, much as Harrys late mother would have 
       wanted. Together, through a depression, a world war, and 
       the McCarthy era, through job losses and race riots and 
       the joyous births of their two children, Harry and Ruby 
       weathered much and shared an incredible love. But then the
       inevitable happened. One of them had to go first. When 
       Ruby was ninety-one, she contracted leukemia and died. 
       Alone for the first time in his life, Harry felt the loss 
       acutely and terribly, and for a long while, despite 
       continued good health, he was uncertain about whether he 
       could go on without Ruby. It was then that he turned to 
       the past for solaceand ended up fulfilling a lifelong 
       dream of becoming a published author. Delightful and 
       hopeful, tender and moving, The Golden Willow is Harrys 
       tribute to his beloved Ruby, to their long, happy life 
       together, to the impact her parting had on his heart and 
       his soul, and to the surprises and unexpected pleasures 
       that continue to await him.
