Wendy A Horwitz- Milkweed and Honey Cake: A Memoir in Ritual Moments

In Milkweed and Honey Cake: A Memoir in Ritual Moments, Wendy Horwitz explores how ritual can exalt ordinary moments and frame the extraordinary. With observations from nature, religion, and literature, she tells stories about celebration, loss, change, and the best way to open a pomegranate. Lyrical and funny, thought-provoking and deeply moving, this book is at once a meditation on our desire for meaning and the story of a woman's lifelong efforts to create it.
