I don't often get to read the Conservative Jewish experience, not with the same regularity as I find Reform and Modern Orthodox (and even Hasidic) experiences. For that alone I was here for this book. And then it also took my heart and tore it into tiny little pieces. And that is exactly what I am here for. I think watching Tovah and Adina lash out at each other as they tried to deal with a shared experience that they couldn't really share was heartbreaking and also deeply touching. I love stories about sisters. I often forget this.
