A sweet and thoughtful book about the world’s rituals, interwoven with the author’s memories and experiences. It is from the perspective of someone who does not practice a religion and perceives rituals as important nonetheless. Her father’s death, her daughter’s life, and her relationship with her mother and her husband pervade an examination of everything from rites of passage to recurring daily, monthly and annual celebrations.

It is important to the book that she was the daughter of Carl Sagan and is the daughter of the filmmaker Ann Druyan, his collaborator and wife.

Audiobook. A self-help book I actually liked! I would probably read this again. Written by the daughter of Carl Sagan (astronomer/ famous scientist). I learned a lot about him and his daughter. Will remember a lot about this book.

It was such a sweet book. I don’t consider myself very religious and I feel like that’s what made me able to relate/have an open mind about the topics she touched upon. I don’t have enough rituals within my own life do to not affiliate myself with the religion I was raised in, but I still missed the community. I felt that sense of community through this book. I felt at home with her words. Felt fortunate to have stumbled upon this book and gave it a chance. I definitely recommend this book for the more spiritual sort that want to go on a little journey filled with traditions.
