Poet Grace Aguilar passes away at age 31. She was an eloquent and popular English writer and novelist, and also dedicated herself to Jewish history and religion and to the defense of her peoples and heritage.

 

A lover of the Torah, her last words, spelled out with her fingers on her deathbed, were an intense affirmation of faith in the form of a quote from the Book of Job: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him".

 

Some of her books can be read online at the Gutenberg Project:
