Historia
Born and raised in a tight-knit Orthodox Jewish family, Tova Mirvis committed herself to observing the rules and rituals prescribed by this way of life. After all, to observe was to be accepted and to be accepted was to be loved. She married a man from within the fold and quickly began a family. But over the years, her doubts became noisier than her faith, and at age 40 she could no longer breathe in what had become a suffocating existence.

When Nicole Hardy’s eye-opening "Modern Love" column appeared in the New York Times, the response from readers was overwhelming. Hardy’s essay, which exposed the conflict between being true to herself as a woman and remaining true to her Mormon faith, struck a chord with women coast-to-coast. Now in her funny, intimate, and thoughtful memoir, Nicole Hardy explores how she came, at the age of 35, to a crossroads regarding her faith and her identity.

Before there was Marley, there was a gleefully mischievous boy growing up in a devout Catholic home outside Detroit in the 1960s and '70s. Despite his loving parents' best efforts, John's attempts to meet their expectations failed spectacularly.

Tracy K. Smith has a fairly typical upbringing in suburban California: the youngest in a family of five children raised with limitless affection and a firm belief in God by a stay-at-home mother and an engineer father. But after spending a summer in Alabama at her grandmother's home, she returns to California with a new sense of what it means for her to be Black: from her mother's memories of picking cotton as a girl in her father's field for pennies a bushel to her parents' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement.

Do we love people like Jesus loves them?Jesus loved verbs. He loved action words such as live, come, rest, learn, hear, give, go, and even die. Wouldn’t it make sense that the people who claim to follow Jesus would love the same words Jesus loved?Unfortunately, somewhere along the way someone tried to make the word Christian an adjective. So now people speak of "Christian" books and "Christian" music and "Christian" schools.

Finding Grace is the powerful, often humorous, and deeply moving story of one woman's journey of broken dreams. It is the story of how a painful legacy of the past is confronted and met with peace. This book is for anyone who has struggled to understand why our desires---even the simplest ones---are sometimes denied or who has questioned where God is when we need Him most. This story is about one woman's unlikely road to motherhood. Finally, it's a book about the "undeserved gift which is life itself."

From simple practices such as walking, working, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see. Something as ordinary as hanging clothes on a clothesline becomes an act of devotion if we pay attention to what we are doing and take time to attend to the sights, smells, and sounds around us. Making eye contact with the cashier at the grocery store becomes a moment of true human connection.

Cynthia Piantedosi lives a quiet, unassuming life with her elderly father just outside of Boston. When she loses her beloved grandmother as a child, her faith takes a turn for the devout, and she begins experiencing what she describes as "spells" - moments of such intense prayer that she loses herself. Uninterested in boys and a social life, she develops a deep friendship with the parish priest, whose ideas are often seen as too provocative by his congregation but who encourages her to explore her spells.

There is no one whose brokenness is too broken for God. We know this is true for our friends when we want to encourage them. Yet, when it comes to the places of out innermost sense of regret, we often wonder if it is really true that God can work all things together for good for those who love Him. Angie Smith is one who was quick to encourage a friend, but struggled to believe that God could truly make something spectacular out of her brokenness and disappointments.

Angela feels like a good friend when you are done
Really like how many times I chuckled, or smiled, or even said, "yeah, I know, right?!" out loud while listening to Angela tell her journey. Good listen. I have the book but couldn't get around to it, so I decided to listen to it on a long drive. Great choice.

Nearly Me
This book was a punch in the gut. Angela Carlson nailed a lot of my thoughts and experiences SO on the head in this book. I identified with her descriptions of her youth and high school years (in general, not in the details, of course). All the messy insecurities, self-recriminations, social anxieties that happen when you are a woman in the United States who decides to do something, ANYTHING, against the grain.
The story-telling jumped around, like it does when you are letting your thoughts out to a friend. Very conversational. A chance statement that reminds you of a thing that happened yesterday, or last week or last decade which serves to illustrate the thought you are trying to get across. That can be a little disconcerting because, especially in audio, the jump can seem kind of abrupt. After a couple of chapters, I got used to that style and was not so confused when she went from 2019 to 1982 to 2000 to 2019 (for example) in three paragraphs. I can see why folks would be confused.
There was audible background noise and some electronic hissing that came across, regardless of what device I used. If Ancient Faith Publishing is going to continue with audiobook offerings, they should invest in cleaning up the audio a bit more. This is not the first book I have received from them that has that issue. Professional narrators would be a good idea as well. I understand that the author of an autobiographical work might seem to be the best to tell their own tale, they often come across as monotone, which can make for a boring listen. Just a thought.
All in all I appreciated this book for what it was--a woman's tale of her journey to Orthodoxy. I related greatly to both her and her journey. There were many thought provoking moments and I had to stop listening a couple of times because her path, dirty, dusty, tiring as it was, was so like mine.
3.5 stars
Full Disclosure: I was given an Audible credit to purchase this book in return for an honest review. Thank you for the opportunity to do this, AFP!

All Author, No Orthodoxy
I have no idea what this woman believes. I know she has a fierce loyalty to Roman Catholicism, she has a significant amount of social anxiety, she places a lot of emphasis on her appearance and politics. She says she was a part of a lot of failed churches, but never tells us anything about them. She talks a lot about the stress of her family, but I have no idea if she loves her husband. If she didn’t emphasize how much she does for them I would have the impression she is ambivalent about her children. She spends the entire book coming up with reasons she can’t be Orthodox but none of them are serious. She avoids talking to people in church and only attends Vespers and then wrings her hands that maybe Orthodoxy isn’t for her.
This is more of a memoir or journal than a conversion story or even book about faith.
