Product Description
From There to Here: Points on the Circle of Life. The 176-page paperback, with accompanying photographs, features essays, stories, and poems by 45 authors on the turning points in their lives ─ sending a child off on the school bus, becoming a widow, returning to one’s beloved hometown for a year’s sabbatical. The book is a unique collaborative effort. Its contributors and editors all belong to the 440-household congregation, a pillar of the Reconstructionist movement.

Novelist Rosellen Brown, author of Before and After, described the volume as “a gathering of generous souls willing to speak about what matters to them in a way that makes it matter to us.” Author Sara Davidson hailed the “honest, raw, close-to-the-bone and often humorous stories.” In addition to births, deaths, weddings, and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, these transitions include: the daughter of an Alzheimer’s victim facing the moment her mother no longer recognizes her, a father accepting and learning from his son’s choice to live as a strictly Orthodox Jew, a young man embracing his gay identity, an unconfident woman discovering her true strength at age forty.

In the words of Rabbi Sandy Eisenberg Sasso: “These moving essays open a window into the special moments of their authors’ lives.” These are moments you don’t want to miss.
