Overview
"Yaeli, a young female rabbi, accepts her first rabbinical position in Siuslaw Oregon, the site of her greatest secret regret. She fears encountering her former best friend, Molly, whom Yaeli abandoned the morning after their secret wedding. Yaeli fears that Molly might still be living in Siuslaw and that an encounter might force them to confront this painful memory. While serving as the Siuslaw rabbi, Yaeli receives a surprise visit from her estranged twin brother, Danny, who she believes to have been replaced by a creature from the spirit world when they were young. Together with Danny, Yaeli comes to terms with the discovery of Molly's death and learns to make peace with her past. The story responds to a longing for the invisible worlds of the Divine, the dead, and of magic against a backdrop of contemporary existential distress." -- Abstract
