Rabínovka Danya Ruttenbergová se ve své tvorbě zabývá hlubokými otázkami spirituality, které vyvstávají z každodenních zkušeností, zejména z rodičovství. S neobvyklou upřímností a vhledem zkoumá, jak v chaotickém a náročném procesu výchovy dětí najít posvátné a nečekané okamžiky úžasu a smyslu. Její psaní propojuje osobní reflexe s širšími náboženskými a filozofickými tématy, a nabízí tak čtenářům nový pohled na duchovní život v moderním světě.
