Louise isn't juggling balls or flames — she's juggling life: the emotional weight of being a daughter, a mother, a wife… and someone facing a terminal diagnosis. In her latest novel, Unfinished Acts of Wild Creation, author Sarah Yahm introduces us to a woman navigating the tangled mess of grief, love, honesty and humor.
Join us for a deeply moving (and surprisingly funny) conversation about Louise, her snarky daughter, her desperate-to-hold-it-all-together husband Leon, and the beauty found in unfinished things. We also share some personal stories along the way.
🎧 Listen now at jewishlibraries.org/nicejewishbooks 📚 Because sometimes the most Jewish thing you can do is tell a really good story.
Follow along with the transcript and check out Sarah's website and her book club guide.
Assist Sarah's call in her Tikun Olam efforts by supporting Rabbis for Ceasefire or Jews for Food Aid for People in Gaza.
