Praise for My Songs of Now and Then
""This is a smart, moving and unpretentious memoir of a long
life lived with vigor and strength. The biographical narrative
touches on important 20th century events in Europe but the real
story is the author's humanity, her womanhood, and her connection
to others as she made a life in America.
At a number of points, I stopped reading to shed a tear. When I
was done, I wished, most of all, to have the same kind of
equanimity and grace in old age."" Joan Jacobs Brumberg, Prof.
emerita, Cornell University Author of the award winning books:
Fasting Girls: The Emergence of Anorexia Nervosa as a Modern
Disease, and The Body Project: An Intimate History of American
Girls.
The essays in this book are fragments of my truth, to share with
loved ones, perhaps to make you laugh, or cry, to let you glimpse
into my life, my family, my memories, my dreams and my
accomplishments. I write of how it all got started, of belonging
and not belonging; the journeys of my life, journeys in space and
in personal development, growing up and growing old and older yet.
I explore my Jewish identity as it evolves through the seasons of
life, beginning with family wanderings in pre-war Western Europe,
becoming an American Jewish mother and grandmother, embracing a
mid-life career in psychotherapy, and examining the joys and
challenges of late life, all leading to my Ethical Will.
Family recollections and photographs are interspersed with brief
poems.
