Daughters of Kings

the long version

This collection of personal stories explores with great candor the everyday realities and struggles of growing up Jewish in America. Prompted by editor Leslie Brody's lifetime of questions about the nature of her own Jewish identity, a community of thirteen Jewish and non-Jewish women embarked on a journey of discovering what it means to be an American Jewish woman. In Daughters of Kings this diverse group shares moving and personal experiences about the effects of Judaism on their lives and work.
