When She Comes Back
“An intimate, intuitive, emotionally vivid account that finds hope in reconciliation.” – Kirkus Reviews
When She Comes Back is a memoir about the loss of Ronit’s mother to the Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the guru at the center of the Netflix docuseries Wild Wild Country, and their eventual reconciliation. It’s also the story of a family trying to find itself, grownups who don’t know how to be adults, and what happens when the person your life revolves around can’t stay.
Home Is a Made Up Place
“A poignant and melancholy collection of stories about the constant search for a place to belong.” – Kirkus Reviews
Bracing and intimate, Home is a Made-Up Place is a collection of stories about reclaiming personal power, recognizing the difference between what can and cannot be changed, and the pull of familial attachments despite the toll they might take.
