An unusual Orthodox Jewish adventure story, a Jewish Into the Wild. The premise is cinematic, and powerful: an Orthodox young woman, innocent in so many ways, decides to take a trip in a kayak, on her own, across the Arctic Ocean, not long after she has endured two significant tragedies: the unexpected death of her parents, and then, a terrorist bomb in a Jerusalem café that left her encased in tubes and bandages from head to foot — so severely injured that she missed her parents’ funeral.
These devastating events lead Sarah to do what she’d dreamed — to explore her emotional and spiritual self with a voyage into the cold Arctic wilderness. Perilous, frightening, and in the end surprising, this is the story of one woman and her faith, loss, adventure, and transformation.
