Return From Exile
Return From Exile is a selection of the Jewish Book Club and excerpted by Reform Judaism Magazine Spring of 1998--Rabbi Harold S. Kushner, When Bad Things Happen to Good People
In this lively, engaging and deeply moving chronicle, Carol Orsborn takes us on a sacred quest. Like her ancestors of old, she courageously wrestles with her past, her persona, her perceptions, and most of all, her God, until she emerges in a new light of wholeness and holiness. Highly recommended.
--Rabbi Wayne Dosick, Ph.D., Dancing With God
Carol Orsborn's compellingly honest story is the record of a journey back to the sources of her Jewishness. We know that Carol Orsborn is not yet at rest but this reader wants to cheer her on.
--Rabbi Arthur Herzberg, The Jews
Carol Orsborn's engaging account of her life and time at Vanderbilt Divinity School is a story that will inspire those who are struggling to find their way to new levels of spirituality and faith, and that includes most of us. She has the unique ability to share her own journey and to invite us along. It is exciting to join her.
--Joseph C. Hough, Jr., Dean, Vanderbilt University Divinity School
Carol Orsborn's odyssey in search of herself in relationship to God and to her Jewish heritage is a remarkable religious quest. I heartily recommend Return From Exile, especially to people who are engaged in similar struggles to know themselves and to understand the evolving patterns of Jewish life.
--Rabbi Randall M. Falk, Vanderbilt University
