Yet in this book, she does not pretend to be a dispassionate, objective observer. For Glaser is also a partner in an interfaith marriage, struggling with a number of intellectual, but ultimately also very personal, questions. As she sketches out the portraits of twelve intermarried couples, she is looking for reassurance that interfaith marriages can be happy, and for clues as to how to make them so. And she is making a decision for herself on whether or not to convert to Judaism.
