It's a remarkable, mesmerizing book.''--Jeffrey Zaslow, #1 New York Times bestselling co-author, The Last Lecture''It's hard work reducing tens of thousands of your glorious words to a praise piece that necessarily glosses over or skips much of what makes your novel spectacular. Your work is in every facet of the word -- extraordinary.'' -- Stuart Horwitz, Senior Editor, BOOK ARCHITECTURE''Mystical, intellectual, energetic, and relevant, this novel moves its readers to find out what's next while, at the same time, asks us to consider the connections between what we think and what we believe." --Marianne Driskill, Ph.D., award winning poet ''Fare Forward confronts the timeless questions plaguing each of our souls: where did we come from and what is our purpose? Exploring the rich traditions of Kabbalah, engaging science's most difficult proofs and theorems, and enlisting the emotions of the heart. Wendy Polins manages to answers these questions, leaving the reader lingering for more.'' -- --Rabbi Nicole Guzik, Sinai Temple, Los Angeles About the AuthorWendy Dubow Polins is a writer, architect and artist whose work is characterized by an artistic vision and rigor.
