I was referred to this book by the author's mother, who was/is also a friend. I read this book some years ago. I recently discovered in my home library and am happy to strong recommend.
My memory is that I enjoyed the book for it's descriptive narrative. I was blessed to marry into a Jewish background family and found their customs and family bounding very endearing. This book added so much to that feeling and I treasured the time I was able to spend reading. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to broaden their understanding of others and give empathy to others struggles and witness their blessings.
