"Coming of age as a Jewish woman in America"In her first poetry collection, Rachel Mennies chronicles a young woman s relationship with a complicated God, crafting a nuanced world that reckons with its past as much as it yearns for a new and different future.

Here, Mennies examines survival, assimilation, and intermarriage, subjects bound together by complex, if sometimes compromised, ties to the speaker s Judaism. Through wit and careful prosody, "The Glad Hand of God Points Backwards "lays bare the struggles and triumphs experienced through a teenage girl s coming of age, showing the reader what it means to becomeand remaina Jewish woman in America."

Pretty shoe but unrealistic
Size: 10, Color: Caramel
Super high and no actual support. The straps do not hold you in. There was no stability. I had to return.
