Casting Lots--#5 finished

 The rest of the title is:  Changing a Family in a Beautiful Broken World.  The author says she was raised by atheists and she is now a Rabbi.  An interesting story of her life but then also throw in once married she wanted to adopt as well.  Her husband and her already had 2 very young girls when they adopted a baby by from Ethiopia.  They then had another girl and then adopted another young boy from Ethiopia.  She is open about talking about the struggles in her life and family with this but how she was really interested in adopting and wanting to help children in tough circumstances to have a better life opportunity.  A really inspiring read and glad to have read it.  Adopting children is a great thing and takes special people to do this and glad her family committed to this.  FYI she is also the older sister to Laura Silverman--an actor and writer, just read a short story by her in another book just finished and their youngest sister Sarah Silverman comedienne and seeing her on a bunch of commercials about a new show she has coming out.  I didn't figure out Sarah Silverman and author were sisters until halfway or more through the book--kind of funny.

There is 1 WL for this book so will try to post & mail off pretty soon.
