Three Religions, Three Cultures and A Search for Identity
Back from a week in Italy, my friends, more on that later.
In the meantime, please check out my latest piece for Interfaithfamily.com. It's a profile on Sadia Shepard and her memoir, "The Girl from Foreign: A Search for Shipwrecked Ancestors, Forgotten Histories and a Sense of Home".
I hope you'll enjoy my piece, "Three Religions, Three Cultures and A Search for Identity".
