Wish I'd read this 10 years ago!

Once in a while, someone comes along and writes the book that touches your soul. For me, reading A SABBATH LIFE was like holding a mirror to my late 30s and early 40s -- a time when I was struggling to find what it means to be a successful woman, wife, and mother. Those were confusing years for me. A SABBATH LIFE opens the door to a new way of living (and thinking) for intelligent women who want to slow down long enough to enjoy motherhood, community, and the sheer beauty of "ordinary" living. Yet it is not a backlash book. Hirsch assures us, through this healing memoir, that it's possible to live "whole" lives without totally turning our backs on the feminist victories we've won. But we need to rethink and revise our culture's definition of success. In so doing, we just might find the spiritual strength and integrity we've been seeking for so long.Bravo and thanks to the author! I plan to share this deliciously poetic book with everyone I know, men included.
