These are books I read when I decided to return to Judaism after having my first child, while living in a small town where we were the only Jewish family. They taught me a lot: 1. To Life! by Rabbi Harold Kushner, of blessed memory 2. Nine Questions People Ask About Judaism, by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin and Dennis Prager 3. Jewish Literacy, a large reference tome, by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin I found that I learned a lot from them.

I don't think I had a request from a friend who's colleague is looking for a book she can read to learn about Judaism. In order to keep her interest and attention, she's hoping to find a memoir or some other engaging narrative. I don't think it needs to be a complete Judaism 101, just something that will inform and maybe invite further research or learning. Even a quality work of fiction might suit the purpose at this point. Any suggestions?
