| Summary |
In this modern day retelling of the Exodus, Miriam wanders the political and spiritual deserts of a changing American nation. She feels torn between her roots as the Jewish daughter of a Black father and white mother, along with her yearnings for home, and her two brothers: Aaron, a successful New York City attorney and Moses, an autistic Kansas artist. Miriam is an astonishing cook and singer, with a knack for showing up to feed and help people at landmark events- including People's Park during the Summer of Love, the Wounded Knee encampment in South Dakota, the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco, the Oklahoma City terrorist attack, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina. As she seeks the promised land, she shows people, and eventually herself, how to turn the chaos and despair of our times into music, meals, and miracles. |
