Born in Havana, Cuba, and raised in Miami, Genie Milgrom's education was steeped in Roman Catholicism, from grade school to university. Despite her upbringing, she carried a persistent sense of disconnection within her Spanish Catholic surroundings, ultimately learning she has a lineage of Jewish relatives dating back centuries. Genie's story is one of twists and turns as she confronts the challenging choice to transition from her traditional Catholic family's religion to embracing Judaism, ultimately opting for an Orthodox path. Her decision sends shockwaves through her family and friends, while her conviction about her family's Jewish roots in the Iberian Peninsula centuries prior only deepens.
