Cinnamon and Myrrh (AS-IS)

SWEET FRAGRANCES, BITTER TASTES; boundless joys and profound sorrows life is made up of moments that stir your soul and events that pierce your heart. In thirty-three inspiring essays, noted author Yaffa Ganz presents a personal view of those special times and everyday occurrences that link together to form a chain of universal human experience. Some will make you smile with recognition, or even laugh out bud others will bring a tear to your eye. Some are light-hearted flights of fancy, while others represent milestones that mark the authors journey on lifts rocky road. But each essay bears her inimitable stamp: her abiding devotion to Eretz Yisrael, the infinite low with which she envelops her family, and her refreshing no-nonsense candor. With many books for children, a regular column in Good Fortune magazine, and countless articles in Jewish periodicals to her credit, Mrs. Ganz has earned international acclaim for her literary achievements. Beneath the surface glitter, however, a genuine, down-to-earth person dwells, a Jewish woman-wife-mother-teacher-writer grandmother whose experiences reflect and parallel those of Jewish women everywhere. Infused with Mrs. Cans enduring faith and transcendent humor this volume of touching, thought-provoking vignettes are certain to lift every readers spirits. This is a book to curl up with, to relax with and enjoy.
