Ignored yet again by his crush, Abe Pearlman wanders into Fortunes and
Futures for a little diversion. The fortune teller reveals that Abe may
be able to save someone's life. But before he can ask any questions,
he's swept to the slums of Victorian London, where he finds that his
crush, Mitzy Singer, has also been banished. Abe and Mitzy soon discover
that they've been plunked down in the middle of the Jack the Ripper
spree. To get back home, they'll have to work together to figure out how
the fortune teller's prophecy is connected to one of history's most
notorious criminal cases. They'll also have to survive the outpouring of
hate toward Jewish refugees that the Ripper murders triggered. Ripped
Away is based on real historical events, including the Ripper crimes,
the inquests, and the accusations against immigrants.
