Joy Comes in the Morning by Jonathan Rosen

Recommended by Mer A. This was not a great book. It was about an alternative female rabbi who becomes romantically entangled with the son of someone she is helping in the hospital. I didn't find the narrator's voice to be authentic, and I didn't think the situations she found herself in were realistic.

It has been suggested to me secondhand by a female rabbi that this narrator does in fact represent an authentic voice. I am still not a fan of the book (maybe it was the narrator as a woman, not as a rabbi, whom I did not connect to) but I appreciate the comment.
