A witness to the worst tragedies of hate—and the greatest healing of love Rabbi Tamara Miller’s life was touched by horrifying acts of bigotry turned deadly. She fought institutions, ingrained sexism, her own insecurities, and even her own family to forge a spiritual practice by which she could assist the sick and dying as well as help Jews who felt lost or wounded find a spiritual path. Her memoir is a compelling record of times of struggle for women, the Jewish people, and minorities alike. But there are moments of heart and humor writ large here, too—such as devising environmentally sound ritual for Seattle techies, feeling mutual infatuation at a blind date with a Muslim man, and discovering a soul connection with a German monk. Tamara Miller grew up in a time when she was forbidden to read some books—yet she went on to study these books. Now she has written her own: You Are the Book celebrates joy and justice, family and friends, and a life rich in diversity.

The year is 1958, and Jani and Emma are teenage twins living in a peaceful California suburb. Beloved by their parents, they seem to be living the all-American life. The sisters, however, have suspect taste in men, and their lovesick teenage decisions will not only affect the rest of their lives—they will shape their California family for years to come. Emma is drawn to the hard-partying Brad, who just so happens to already have a fiancée. Despite condemning his cheating ways, Emma still finds herself attracted to the handsome charmer. Meanwhile Jani falls for Nate, an ambitionless horse groomer, despite her family’s objections. Jani knows they'll be even angrier when they hear her secret: she’s pregnant with Nate’s child. Jani turns to Emma, her sister and best friend, for help. As the two young women enter into precarious marriages based on white lies and teenage crushes, life’s tough realities sink in. Years roll by as babies are born, husbands continue with their carefree ways, and both Jani and Emma find out that in the end, blood is thicker than any marriage vow.
