"In League with Israel: A Tale of the Chattanooga Conference" by Annie Fellows Johnston is a story set in the late 1800s, that looks at Jewish identity and the tricky parts of relationships when people have different religious beliefs. Key characters are David, a young Jewish man, and Bethany, a woman experiencing great sadness. Their lives play out during a conference designed to connect different faith groups, and the story follows how these characters come together and go their separate ways. We first see Rabbi Ezra and David talking about family, identity, and the risks of outside influence. David wants to protect his younger sister, Marta, when she wants to visit Chattanooga with friends, making him rethink his own travel plans. In Chattanooga, David is immersed in new ideas and faiths. He feels both challenges to his Jewish identity and drawn to the strong personalities he meets, paving the way to investigating faith and diverse relationships more deeply.
