{"product_id":"dust-for-my-soul","title":"Dust for my Soul","description":"If my sole reason for existence was to be a good, Jewish mother, then did getting kicked out of my home and abandoning my faith mean that I no longer had a reason to be alive?\nI left the ultra-Orthodox community in which I was raised, angry at a world that had forsaken me in my despair, and I traveled across five continents in search of my self-worth.\nOn my exciting and often reckless journey, I was able to make my own choices for the first time. I learned how to travel in an affordable and sustainable way that forced me to interact with strangers. I searched for Jews around the world in order to better understand my upbringing. I was showered with kindness, but I still felt alone.\nWhen the worldwide COVID epidemic put a halt to my traveling, I was forced to feel my emotions since my mind was no longer occupied with daily survival, and it finally had a chance to catch up with my body.\nThe isolation was too much for me, and I succumbed to the thoughts I had been running from for so long and attempted to take my own life. Getting locked up in a psychiatric ward took away my freedom and robbed me of the ability to make all of my own choices. All but one; I had to choose to live.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CYLRJP2V\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CYLRJP2V.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Weiss, Maya\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44492448366653,"sku":"BVV.B0CYLRJP2V.VG","price":13.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0CYLRJP2V-0.jpg?v=1794086283","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/dust-for-my-soul","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
