Bread Givers shows the life of a Jewish family in modernizing America during

the early 1900's, but it focuses in on a young girl who's father is a Rabbi
that does

nothing but teach the Holy Torah all day and does no work to earn money.

the work for the family and their father still had total control over them in
just about

Bessie,

young man was not in the upper-class that the father wanted and though that
he would

be a burden so he drove his daughter's love away over money.

father and decided to run away with only a few dollars and start a somewhat
new life.
