She wakes one morning and discovers that her husband is gone. He has left her and their children. Though she herself is a Rabbi and is used to helping other people deal with the tragedies that occur in their lives, Tovah feels completely unprepared to handle the fact that her own husband could possibly have left her without a word.  </div> <div> Despite all the evidence that plainly shows he has gone — missing clothes, missing duffel bag, missing car — it seems impossible that this kind of tragedy could happen to a woman like Tovah. She's strong, independent, loving, helpful. It's she who helps others through death and loss and grief, but now, it's Tovah who desperately needs the help.  </div> <div> And she needs to find her husband. </div> <div> In language that is lyrically simple and with characters who are vividly drawn, Barrie takes us into the most secret and hidden part of her characters' lives — the painful realizations they keep even from themselves — and shows us the passions, the weaknesses, the strengths, the flaws, the tender moments, and the love that make up their lives.  And our own. </div> <div> The incidents that make us re-examine who we think we are, and what others think we should be. The life-changing events and feelings that transform us, yet connect us forever with the rest of the human race.   <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >© 2004 Sherri Szeman & RockWay Press®</FONT></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.rockwaypress.com/brenda_barrie_excerpt_rabbis_husband.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.rockwaypress.com/brenda_barri"><B>Read an excerpt from The Rabbi's Husband</B></A></div> <bR> <div> <B>Continue  with </B><A HREF="reviews___comments.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Reviews Comments"><B>Reviews & Comments</B></A></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
