With wit and sensitivity, In Transit chronicles a wonder-filled journey the author feels privileged to have enjoyed for three quarters of a century. Her slice of Americana includes a happy family and a number of projects, undertaken from home, that have proven crucial to her community and the larger world. The penultimate chapter deals with her maternal association with Islam, which has been traumatic yet rewarding, revealing an Eastern world essentially closed to non-Muslims. This painful experience has severely tested her Quaker values of love and tolerance and greatly intensified appreciation for the wonder and joy of her own life.
