Looking for Lost Bird: A Jewish Woman Discovers Her Navajo Roots

Looking for Lost Bird: A Jewish Woman Discovers Her Navajo Roots is an extraordinary memoir that takes you on a journey of self-discovery and cultural exploration. This thought-provoking book tells the story of Yvette, a woman who was adopted and raised in New York, but felt disconnected from her true identity.

With poignant words and a touch of wry humor, Yvette shares her search for belonging and peace. She bravely ventures to Israel, where she finds solace among Kibbutz friends and army comrades. However, her quest for self-acceptance continues when she moves to a remote corner of the Navajo reservation.

In this hidden world, Yvette encounters strangers who claim to be her family. Through their mysterious ceremonies and the daily rhythms of reservation life, she immerses herself in Navajo spirituality, learning about medicine men, Changing Woman, and the whispers of the winds.

But what sets this memoir apart is Yvette's determination to weave together her Jewish faith and the rich Navajo heritage. From learning to weave Navajo rugs to finding parallels between the Biblical story of Adam and Eve and the Navajo tales of the corn people, she beautifully captures the interplay of identity and family.

This memoir not only delves into the depths of one woman's journey, but also explores universal themes of faith and love. Through Yvette's eyes, we witness the power of embracing different cultures and traditions, while staying true to oneself.
