Blackfairs Bridge

This bridge goes across the River Thames in London where Daniel becomes more fully understanding of Mordecai’s, a man he met earlier in the secondhand bookshop, belief in the transmutation of souls. One day, Daniel rows out on the Thames River and notices a young woman standing on the riverbank looking upset. He realizes that she is going to try to drown herself. He gets her attention and keeps her from drowning. He takes her to live with the Meyrick family. She reveals that her name is Mirah, she's Jewish, and she came to London to find her family. Her evil father took her away from her mom and brother when she was six, and she has only recently come back to find them. She has given up hope, though, which is why she tried to drown herself. Daniel becomes interested in learning more about Judaism. When he's in Frankfurt, he goes to the synagogue and meets an old man who asks him who his mother is. When Daniel gets back to London, he starts hanging out more and more in the Jewish neighborhoods. He sees a shop with the name "Ezra Cohen" above the door. He realizes that Ezra is Mirah's brother's name and goes in and gets to know the family. They invite him back for Sabbath dinner. At dinner, he gets to know Mordecai. Mordecai and Daniel continue to get to know each other. One night at a pub called the Hand and Banner, Mordecai mentions that his sister Mirah was taken from him and his mother when she was just a little girl. Daniel realizes that Mordecai is the brother that Mirah has been searching for (his real name is Ezra, but he also goes by Mordecai). Daniel stalls for a few days, but eventually he reunites the two siblings and Mirah promises to take care of Mordecai.
