"While it is clearly better for Stephen Dubner if his turbulent soul stays quiet, I think readers of this wonderful book will rather hope that a continued measure of unsettlement inspires him to write more." — The New York Times Book Review "A lovely memoir that probes the questions of birthright, faith, and their role in the life of the rock and roll generation." -- Entertainment Weekly "In this vibrant, affecting memoir, Mr. Dubner makes this rapprochement between a Catholic convert and a reverted Jew seem like a revelation..." — New York Times
"Part family saga, part confessional, part mystery" — ABC News/Nightline "A compelling memoir of the tangle of family, faith and estrangement" — Los Angeles Times "A fabulous read. It's a fascinating story on all sorts of different levels" — Good Morning America "So generous and natural a memoirist" — Time "A remarkable chronicle of two generations of spiritual hunger" - New York Newsday "Thick with detail and suspense, like the best kind of fiction ... A tender and fascinating book, a gift to his readers" — The Jerusalem Report "I'm not sure which I admire more, his authentic search for God and religion or the wise and moving book he has written about it." — Commonweal "Deeply moving" — The Philadelphia Inquirer "Achingly funny and poignant" -- Tikkun
