STORIES CARRY is a personal memoir about faith, belonging, and the inherited stories that shape us. As the daughter of Chabad emissaries in 1970s Berkeley, California, and now a shlucha (emissary) herself in Atlanta, Georgia, Schusterman, a mother of eight, has spent her life straddling two worlds--deeply rooted in Hasidic tradition while fully engaged in modern society. Through interwoven narratives of her parents' journey and her own, STORIES CARRY explores the beauty and challenges of faith, the struggle to belong within a community, and the tension between tradition and individuality. It offers a rare, intimate look inside the Hasidic world, one often misunderstood or stereotyped, inviting readers to step beyond assumptions and see a vibrant, complex community from the inside. At a time of increasing polarization, STORIES CARRY is a reminder of the power of shared humanity. Through warmth, honesty, and humor, this book extends a hand across perceived divides, welcoming readers into a world that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. For anyone who has ever questioned where they fit--in family, faith, or the larger world--this book offers a compelling reflection on resilience, identity, and the search for meaning.
