A poignant and witty story written in the voice of Ruthie, a recently widowed New York City Jewish grandmother, who accepts her granddaughter’s gift of a year’s worth of yoga lessons with surprising results. Each week she sees subtle transformations in body, mind and spirit and, in spite of herself, Ruthie forges new paths, postures and friendships helping her to slowly overcome her grief. The book makes a nice gift in small hardcover format, including a glossary of Yiddish and yoga terms.
