I liked this memoir a lot. It details Shapiro's struggle to reconcile her
current spiritual practices with her background as an Orthodox Jew. I totally related although I was raised in a traditional Roman Catholic family. Like the author, I abandoned the practices of my family, but still felt the influences
and needed to find ways to integrate them into my current spiritual life. I too
practice yoga and meditation.
Shapiro's theme resonated strongly with me. Trying to bridge these worlds
is not an easy thing to do or to describe in writing- and she did an excellent
job. Some scenes are so beautifully written that I was moved to tears.
