A Gefitle Fish Out of Water Story
#1 New Release on Amazon in Jewish Biographies #1 New Release on Amazon in Women & Judaism
From floundering to navigating, the story follows the unorthodox path of Jewish Woman Working For a Muslim Government.
"Marrying one woman is like eating chicken every day for the rest of your life,” the cultural attaché —a.k.a. my boss—warned the week before my Jewish wedding. I replied, “I like chicken.”
Adrift in life and at work, nothing seemed to go right. When a rabbi refused to perform an interfaith ceremony, and her grandmother warned, “You can’t marry a Black man,” rather than speak up, Jessica found it easier to bite her tongue. But when she hears on the job, “Jews need not apply,” it shatters her faith in herself.
While illuminating the depths of anxiety and love, Jessica must find the resilience it takes to persevere.
