She takes us along on her journey. We learn how her background shaped her relationships and perceptions of God from a young age. She then delves into the ups and downs of dating\, the tug-of-war she feels between men she may date and those who are off-limits\, her heartfelt attempts (conventional and not) to change her fate\, and her poignant struggles with God through it all. Thoughtful and humorous\, this page-turner draws the reader in. \nUnmatched by Sarah Lavane shines the spotlight on the “unmatched” in a manner one can’t ignore. \n\nJewish Action compared Unmatched to an “immersive experience of a visitor to a museum of the blind.” The reader is plunged into Sarah’s environment with all its raging emotions.\nNamed one of the “Six Best Books of the Year” by The Jewish Link\nThe Algemeiner called Unmatched “one of the best books on Jewish dating you will ever read… will force you to look at single people in a new and more compassionate way.”\nHas touched readers of all stripes – matched\, unmatched\, Jewish\, and not.\nThis memoir is a must-read for the currently “unmatched\,” anyone who’s ever wondered\, “Why isn’t so-and-so married?” and readers who enjoy memoirs that give insight into the human condition.\n\nPlease join this exclusive interview to understand why this memoir has moved so many readers! \nFor more information about Unmatched\, please visit https://www.unmatchedstory.com/ \nClick here to register for the Zoom link.  This session is only available live — it will not be recorded. \nClick here to order Unmatched from AMAZON. \n  \nCORPORATE SPONSORS:   \nMEMORY MATTERS — https://renayudkowsky.com/signature-course/ \nCAPITIL REAL ESTATE — https://capitil.com/ \nMEDICARE INSURANCE SPECIALIST — https://www.65andready.com/ \nFORSPANKLEAR\, LLP — https://www.forspanklear.com/ \nWINSTON WEALTH ADVISORS — https://www.winstonwealthadvisors.com/ou-spirit \nSCHWARTZ BROTHERS JEFFER/SINAI CHAPEL/PARKSIDE MEMORIAL CHAPELS — https://www.dignitymemorial.com/funeral-homes/forest-hills-ny/schwartz-brothers-jeffer-memorial-chapels/4131 \nCITIZENS BANK — https://lo.citizensbank.com/nj/woodcliff-lake/david-siegel \nJRESPONDER — https://www.sosresponder.com/ \n____________________________________________________________________ \nWe have created a new SPIRIT website with archives and upcoming programs!
