Recenzii
"Beautifully weaving both her personal crises and her family history into a larger discussion of the challenges facing contemporary Judaism, Moses . . . creates a moving portrait of a thoroughly modern woman struggling to make sense of, and to live up to, the faith of her forebears."—Lorraine Glennon, Ladies Home Journal
"Moses has created a moving spiritual memoir, one in which the writing shimmers with emotion but is honest, powerful, and carefully crafted. Readers seeking a dip into the pool of lively, probing autobiography will find this slim volume a satisfying adventure."—Jewish Book World
"Moses's prose is lyrical and fresh. . . . After finishing this book, readers may wish they could sit down over a bagel and grits and visit with her."—Publishers Weekly
