It felt appropriate to nestle Gil Adamson’s Ridgerunner amongst the many pieces of my sewing project, as reading this hotly anticipated follow up to The Outlander and sewing curtains are my current extracurricular activities of choice. It goes like this: I thread a bobbin (with help from YouTubers), and then I read a chapter of Ridgerunner. I adjust the tension of my archaic machine (again, shout-out to YouTube), and then I read a chapter of Ridgerunner. I throw my measuring tape across the room in a rage, and then I soothe myself by delving into the world of the Ridgerunner. Finally, I produce 20 inches of completely wonky stitches and reward myself to another chapter of Ridgerunner. Yes, I may never have curtains, but I’m so glad I have this book. Available now!

The linked stories in You Are Not What We Expected by Sidura Ludwig (@siduraludwigauthor) present an exquisite portrait of Jewish community, illuminating the unexpected ways we remain connected during times of change.
