About the Book

Oy vey! It's 1979 and a young Israeli girl finds love with an American doctor during a brief visit and risks it all to get married after a brief romance. Now the young couple must really get to know one another post-nuptials while trying to survive as fish-out-of-water in rural Texas. This true love story will have you laughing and crying through life's ups and downs while experiencing a marriage story like no other. What could Bob, a newly minted New York physician, and a 18year-old Israeli woman, Iris, have in common? From New York to Tel Aviv and finally of all places, Odessa, Texas they develop a mutual love. While struggling to outline the boundaries of a marriage Iris is determined to find her own identity, apart from just a doctor's wife. She must master a new language, face antisemitism and fight the loneliness of being away from family and friends in a new land. Both see a new culture in Texas meeting boots, the Texas two-step and differing religious views. Follow Bob and Iris as they travel from the skyscrapers and mountains of New York to the hills of Jerusalem and on to the desert of Texas. Meet the people they knew, New Yorkers, Israelis, Texans, and situations of marriage, culture and self-identity that many of us share. This true story is of hard-won triumphs and unexplained tragedy.

Review :
"Eyes of a Different Color by Robert Jaffee artfully blends the depths of grief with the compelling intricacies of human relationships... His characters spring to life within the narrative, ranging from the frustratingly indecisive patient, Mrs. Schmidt, unbounded self-confident Israeli, Avi, and archetypical Texan, Curtis to the tragically vibrant Iris, whose tale of love, loss and cultural displacement parallels Jaffee's journey. The memoir excels in depicting the emotional landscape that Robert Jaffee navigates... a masterful blend of life's simplicity and its profound complexity, told through the eyes of a man who helps others see the world more clearly, even as he seeks clarity for himself. It's a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersections of life, loss, and the enduring human spirit." - Reviewed by Carol Thompson for Readers' Favorite "Deeply personal but with a universal resonance, Eyes of a Different Color is an inherently interesting and memorable memoir by Dr. Robert Jaffee in the form and format of a true love story will carry the reader along through the ups and downs of of their lives with this candidly detailed story of a marriage that is quite singular and like no other. Exceptionally well written, organized and presented, Eyes of a Different Color is one of those personal memoirs that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book has been finished and set back upon the shelf. Especially and unreservedly recommended for personal reading lists and community library Contemporary American Biography/Memoir collections." - Midwest Book Review
