** _ _Woman of Valor__ _ by Lynne Golodner:_** Sally Sterling never
intended to embrace the Judaism of her ancestors, but after her first love and
Catholic college sweetheart broke her heart, the surprising salve for her
sadness appears when she stumbles into the Orthodox community of Skokie,
Illinois. Ten years later, Sally is a mother of three, married to Barry
Lieberman, the love of her life, and enamored with the routine and beauty of
her religious lifestyle. But when her eldest son suffers abuse at school, she
is jarred by her husband’s response. And that’s exactly when her lost college
love finds her online, providing a convenient escape from her troubles.
Suddenly, everything is falling apart, and Sally can’t find any reprieve, or
resolution – not even hitting the trails for her favorite runs along Lake
Michigan. Will she lose the happy life she’s worked so hard to build, or could
this shakeup be just what she needs to finally define her life for herself?
_Woman of Valor_ is a fictional story about the courage to love the ordinary
and seek satisfaction where you are, while shedding the need to please others.
