Forest Walk on a Friday: Essays on Home, Love and Finding My Voice at Midlife

In this lyrical collection of personal essays, Lynne Golodner shares vivid visits to far-flung locations and insights on human nature, relationships and the journey to the self. Inviting the reader into her ten-year foray into the world of Orthodox Judaism—and her subsequent decision to leave the strictures of religion—Golodner writes about marriage and motherhood, divorce and single parenthood, and finding love again. She writes about the compelling ways nature calms her racing mind and invites readers to experience and explore the living world as a grounding connection. Forest Walk on a Friday is a collection of heart-and-soul stories reflecting the many versions of self we all inhabit and the many possibilities for happiness, home and wisdom available to us all.
