How beautiful, how wise and knowledgeable. Grace was a true scholar, and if not for you, I would never have heard of Grace Aguilar. We met Grace Aguilar, a woman from 200 years ago, live, because Maya, you live what you do. Huge thanks, you moved us, and we'll hear more from you.

Dear Maya, I was so moved to read this. I've accompanied you along this journey, and it's a great joy to see the book come out now and begin its way in the world. Well done on the persistence, the faith and the heart you brought along the way.

I read the book with bated breath and with grace. Grace Aguilar connects us to every mother in the Bible in a wondrous way, and you, Maya, poured her sublime words into every story. After the Bible, this is a must-read for every Jewish woman.
