The Chameleon in the Closet A Conservative Jewish Mother Reaches Out to Her Orthodox Sons by BJ Rosenfeld

This memoir is a tribute to all parents who stand behind their children’s live-altering decisions. While many of our contemporaries struggle with the issues of children who intermarry and grandchildren who are not raised as Jews, BJ Rosenfeld has dealt with perhaps the opposite challenge: sons who have gone beyond her and her husband’s Conservative Jewish observance and become Orthodox Jews. The result: "The Chameleon in the Closet," a humorous, touching, thought-provoking memoir in which she takes us on her journey to meld her own lifestyle with those of her sons and their new families.
