Bloomfield Avenue: A Jewish-Catholic Jersey Girl's Spiritual Journey

In this memoir, Mercadante tells her quest for religious identity, a real home, good work, and a one-faith family. Born to a mixed-religion family, she tries Catholicism, a WASP sorority, atheism, Eastern mysticism, and vegetarianism. Her story holds key lessons for people from mixed backgrounds, those who long for the ideal family, and those who shun religion as a dead-end.
