HONOR AMONG THIEVES

<p>Honor among Thieves is based on a true story about a Gentile girl and a Jewish boy who fall in love in booming Houston Texas in 1956. Both sets of parents adamantly object to their relationship-- with anti-Semitism distrust of the other and community tribalism standing in the way of their love. The clash between loving and loved parents and their children is painful as is the ugly presence of prejudice. Questions of morality arise when the couple employs deception and lying to fulfill their commitment to each other. The fraught journey of these intelligent young people moves from Texas to college on the East Coast then to Paris and New York. It is a poignant tale sometimes humorous often suspenseful and sadly as meaningful today as it was sixty years ago.</p>
