A. has been requesting that I let you know how much she loves your book. She hasn’t read a book at home willingly for a few years now, and just now came in the kitchen and read 2 poems!! (And she read them beautifully). Thank you so much for inspiring and motivating her! -A’s mom

"I loved your newest book, "Serah's Secrets" and the way you consolidated the Biblical hints about her bio and brought the story to life by adding your own conjectures. A fascinating character indeed!" - Marta W.

Julie Schwarzwald says: I just finished it [Serah's Secrets] last night. She has always been one of my favorite biblical figures. No surprise, Suzanne did an amazing job of creating a narrative encompassing the text and midrash and including another new favorite of mine, first female rabbi Osnat.

This eclectic collection of poems in Rabbi Suzanne Brody’s latest publication felt like snacking on a bag of flavored jellybeans while blindfolded. Each page offers a unique surprise, different from the one before. Each poem, with its own unique flavor, elicits a distinct feeling ranging from sweet, amused wonderings to spicy cries of frustration, pain, and longing, to simply savory, enjoyable nuggets. It’s a medley of Brody’s inner-voice and personal insights. Through her writing, we are invited into the thoughts and emotions of one woman who plays many roles–teacher, mother, rabbi, and artist. Topics stretch from the mundane business of cleaning up students’ glitter to weightier topics such as egalitarianism and Biblical texts. Lovers of poetry will surely appreciate this intimate display of self-reflection and observation. —Dori Weinstein, author of the YaYa & YoYo series
