“Extraordinarily powerful.”
In a world where we struggle still for gender equality, we do not always hear stories that reveal how the unwritten rules of society cause harm and affect an individual’s sense of self. But in this extraordinarily powerful memoir, Barbara Ostfeld shares her lived reality, refusing to shy away from difficult experiences—even one she concealed for decades from herself and others. Catbird will bring hopeful courage to those who are fighting their own demons.
–Rabbi Sally Priesand, America’s first female rabbi, and Rabbi Emerita of Monmouth Reform Temple, Tinton Falls, NJ
