Charlie Tanner has spent nearly half her life at an agricultural commune called Anam Cara in Cape Breton. After dropping out of college and severing ties with her family, she followed the man she believed to be the love of her life, James Grace, to a strict spiritual community led by former hippies who sought refuge on the shores of Bras d’Or Lake, out of reach of American law enforcement. When James dies suddenly, 40-year-old Charlie falls mute.

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 listener 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 listeners to experience and explore the living world as a grounding connection.
