Jennifer Anne Moses left behind a comfortable life in the upper
echelons of East Coast Jewish society to move with her husband and
children to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Searching for connection to her
surroundings, she decided to volunteer at an AIDS hospice. But as
she encountered a culture populated by French Catholics and
Evangelical Christians, African Americans and Cajuns, altruistic
nurses and nuns, ex-cons, street-walkers, impoverished AIDS
patients, and healers of all stripes, she found she had embarked on
an unexpected journey of profound self-discovery. In a keenly
observed memoir that embraces both pathos and humor, Moses takes us
into a world that is strange and sad but also suffused with the
holy. As witness to dire poverty and extreme adversity, Moses
discovers a deeper commitment to her own faith - a Judaism that
asks not for blind belief, but rather daily commitment. She
recounts the challenges of taking on a life committed to God in a
postmodern world that has little use for the divine. Telling her
story of redemption with an honesty that goes right for the guts,
she leaves the reader with new hope.
