Now, Marvin Olasky uncovers the true story of his father's past in his most personal work to date—facing Eli's pain and his own in order to understand and forgive. He follows Eli from his Orthodox Jewish childhood in Boston to his days as a commuter student at Harvard to his traumatic experiences in Germany following World War II to his embrace of Reconstructionist Judaism.

How are you today? We would hazard a guess that your answer will be along the lines of "I'm so busy", "I feel so frazzled", or "what-am-I doing-even listening to-this-book, I've got so much to do!" However, we also suspect that you know in your heart of hearts that life's not supposed to feel like this. You're not supposed to feel like you're in a hamster wheel that you can't get off; that life is a whirlwind or one never-ending to do list. You know there has to be another way.
