Synkroniciti is honored to feature Childhood’s End, Evelyn Sharenov’s moving story of a young woman of Jewish heritage coming of age in 1960s New York City. Growing up in the long shadow of the Holocaust with the tremors of the Civil Rights Movement beginning to shake the nation, a young musician loses her innocence and gains purpose. Evelyn’s writing is magnificent and has a great deal of cultural and historical significance.

Childhood’s End is one of her favorite stories. She has been published in the New York Times, Oregon Humanities, the Bellevue Literary Review and other wonderful journals. She is currently hiding in spitting distance of the Pacific Ocean where she is writing the great American novel. When that’s published, she’ll take a nap with the loves of her life—cats and dogs.
