Dani Shapiro is adrift, haunted by loss and doubt. Craving meaning in a life of errands and to-do lists, she embarks on a personal quest to rediscover her religious roots and uncover her authentic self. From Orthodox Judaism to yoga retreats, Shapiro's reckoning is both poignant and funny, a universal story of one woman's search for purpose and belonging.
