A wonderful and heart-warming story about family, grief, and coming of age. A secret haunts Harold while he is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah. Why is his mother suddenly gone and what are others not telling him? His father finds himself in the throws of a moral battle over whether or not to reveal the truth to his autistic son. Written with a mixture of love and humor, ‘Rite of Passage’ is a story of a young man and his father coping with loss as they rebuild their family and find hope for the future. The complex and incredibly human characters go through terribly hard times, yet handle it with grace and humor even when things are in turmoil and the stakes are high.
