Through a largely hidden ceremony . . .
four friends discover
the true meaning of life
It's 2006 in a seaside village in Israel, where a war is
brewing. Lauren,
Emily, Aviva and Rachel, four memorable women from
different backgrounds,
are drawn to the village. Lauren, a maternity nurse,
loves her Israeli
doctor husband but struggles to make a home for herself
in a foreign land
thousands of miles away from her beloved Boston. Seeking
a fresh start after
a divorce, her vivacious friend Emily follows. Strong,
sensuous Aviva,
brought to Israel years earlier by intelligence work, has
raised a family
and now lost a son. And Rachel, a beautiful, idealistic
college graduate
from Wyoming, arrives with her hopeful dreams.
The women forge a friendship that sustains them as they
come to terms with
love and loss, and the outbreak of war. Their intimate
bond is strengthened
by their participation in a traditional ritual that
closes the circle of
life. As their lives are slowly transformed, each finds
unexpected strength
and resilience. Brimming with wisdom, rich in meaningful
insights, A
Remarkable Kindness is a moving testament to women's
friendship,
illuminating a mostly unknown ritual that underscores
what it means to truly
be alive.
