language, the wisdom, and the vivid and moving portrait of a father
and daughter. Whether you read it for its fine translations of

Prescription."-David Gessner, New York

life into his ancient wisdom, and makes him our guide through
common contemporary struggles: anger, anxiety, distraction, and
more. The Rumi Prescription translates the wisdom of a medieval
mystic into the voice of a wise, honest, irreverent friend who
tells us what we most need to hear."-Krista Bremer, author of
My Accidental Jihad and A Tender Struggle

modern drama, exploring love, politics, and mental health. Original
translations of Rumi's poems are interspersed with ruminations on
fatherhood, feminism, and self-care, offering insights that will
changeyour life. I wish I could prescribe this memoir."-Dr.

It's a love letter sent across centuries, from one artist to
another-and decades, from a daughter to her father-and in the here

is the sweetest medicine I've ever taken."-Nina de Gramont,
author of The Last September
