The vignettes featured in this anecdotal compendium span more than 17 years of Joannie Tansky's evolving awareness of her religious thought. She chronicles her path to embracing Orthodox Judaism and, with it, the feminine point of view of facets of Judaism such as Shabbat, keeping kosher, mikvah, holidays, the visiting of Jewish institutions around the world, and even menopause. In narrating her spiritual journey, Tansky offers inspiration to readers who are already Torah observant but may find themselves feeling stale or bored, and allays the fears of women who are just beginning their own religious journey, explaining that it is not necessary to embrace all of Judaism at once. Filled with warmth, humor, and the wisdom gleaned from a years-long spiritual walk, this is an absorbing read for anyone interested in the power of faith and the possibilities that open up to a woman in search of her spiritual self.
