Early Praise
“Like a master weaver, Dena Schusterman draws glittering threads from far-flung epochs and cities, creating the coat of many colors she invisibly wears as a hip modern woman who finds guidance and strength in ancient truths. "
— Melissa Fay Greene, American journalist and award-winning nonfiction author.“Dena Schusterman's stories have the power to move us both because we can clearly see our own life in them and also because we cannot. Raised in an observant and committed Jewish home, she has lived a life so different from what many of us have experienced.”
— Mayim Bialik, American actress, neuroscientist, and author"Interconnected, beautifully crafted snapshots of a spiritual quest unfold in faith, sharing everything from yoga to kabbalah to coffee. A charming and inspiring journey."
— Rabbi David Wolpe, author of DAVID: THE DIVIDED HEARTLatest Musings

Hi, I’m Dena.
For years, I’ve shared my reflections right here—navigating the beautiful, chaotic, and poignant moments of life, faith, and family. That journey of putting pen to paper has culminated in my debut memoir, Stories Carry. I believe that we all carry stories, and sometimes, those stories carry us. Whether you are here to discover the book, read my latest musings, or invite me to speak with your community, I’m so glad you’re here.
Come to my garden, my sister, my bride.
A field is where necessities are planted.
Wheat. Vegetables. Survival.
A garden is where we plant for pleasure.
This world, the mystics say, is not a field (or a jungle, despite evidence to the contrary). It is a garden. And we are the bride.
