From Library Journal
Glaser, a journalist who was raised Protestant, married a Jew, and then discovered her own Jewish background, interviewed hundreds of interfaith couples across the country and here presents portraits of a representative 11. She has chosen a widely diverse group?some young, some older; some practically newlyweds, others married over 40 years and one lesbian couple?all with their own experiences with interfaith relationships. Marriage between Jews and non-Jews is a growing trend, and there is a growing interest in how successfully to blend the two traditions. While there are other books on the subject, such as Paul and Rachel Cowan's Mixed Blessings (LJ 9/15/87) and even a popular new newsletter (Dovetail, Magazines, LJ 5/15/94), this is a worthwhile addition to that literature.?Marcia G. Welsh, Guilford Free Lib., Ct.

The New York Times Book Review, Martha Fay
One needn't be Orthodox or even Jewish, however, to come away from this determinedly nonjudgmental book wondering just what all this "I'm O.K., you're O.K."--and we're all Jewish--talk adds up to.... While she does her best to be journalistically impartial, it is clear that Glaser's sympathies lie more with those who would add new members to the tribe--on whatever terms offered--than with those who would drum them out.
