Book Synopsis


Trade Review
An engrossing account of the appeal of religious orthodoxy to formerly secular women, many of them once feminist, radical members of the counterculture....This outstanding work of scholarship reads with the immediacy of a novel. -- Cynthia Fuchs Epstein, author of Deceptive Distinctions: Sex, Gender, and the Social Order
These stories are of the search for one's roots, the quest for meaning and order, and 'of coming home'...fascinating. * Hadassah Magazine *
