About this listen

When you part company with the life you've been living, how do you start a new one?

While trying to sort out the answer to this question-along with the question of what being Jewish meant to her, Zark began writing. This book was born of the journey. Married to the cantor of a Jewish synagogue, trying to fit into a life she hadn't anticipated, Jenna Zark is completely unprepared when her marriage falls apart. Now staring down the prospect of being a single mom, Zark has to decide if and how to work with her former husband, now co-parent, to give her son a Jewish heritage.

While the holidays and rituals in this book are Jewish, the theme is universal and familiar for anyone who has ever experienced life-transforming loss. Crooked Lines is Jenna Zark's honest and compelling story of navigating divorce, single parenthood, interfaith marriage, and losing parents while holding on to one's humor and traditions.
