From the rea…r cover: "This 'haunted, hauntingly beautiful' memoir is a 'dazzling exploration of love between generations and between partners.' When the Black Madonna erupts like a volcano in the life of Joan Weimer, an agnostic Jew, this black-faced image of the Virgin Mary triggers painful memories of Joan's dead mother and threatens to estrange Joan from her husband, a committed atheist. As she tracks down the Black Madonna at her shrines in Switzerland, Italy, England and Spain; as she walks ancient labyrinths in churches and commons, Joan's outer journey makes possible a profound inner journey. With the help of a woman rabbi, she discovers that her mother's fitful love and the spiritual force that seem to come and go are both like flowing water; they abide even while they are moving on." Signed by author in black pen to title page. Two round stickers ("Local Author" and "Autographed Copy") to front cover, both of which can be easily peeled off if so desired. In Fine condition. Signed by Author(s).
