Publisher's summary

When she steps into her first yoga class after a 30-year hiatus, Tess Rose is unaware that her life is about to transform. After decades devoted to her thriving career and its seeming success, the serenity she experiences in the yoga room causes Tess to question her path. What has her fast-paced New York City life been about? Where is she heading?

Her intersection with the mysterious Neal Clay, whose quiet simplicity and joy for life simultaneously unnerves and fascinates her, fuels her personal transformation. After years of searching for love, in Neal she finds a comrade. But as her relationship with Neal unfolds, she learns that all routes in life - regardless of how safe they may appear - are fraught with uncertainty. In this story of second chances and the quest to know one’s heart, Tess and Neal navigate the complicated territory of friendship, the intricacy of family ties, and the nature of callings.

From Comfortable Distances explores the role that destiny and faith play in our lives, and how the people we meet along the way can forever alter our journeys.

From Comfortable Distances is a literary masterpiece!

Jodi Weiss presents Tess’s life, its inevitable changes, uncertainties, setbacks and triumphs in a manner that is tangible and gripping. As I read each chapter I felt a connection to each of the individuals that are part of this story. For me, the author was magical in the way she would interchange the characters external dialogue with their very personal internal thoughts. The novel is thought provoking and reflective. It is a true expression of what being alive is all about. From Comfortable Distances is personal journey that each of us travel.

Narrator was perfect fit for story.

The characters were very relatable and well developed but the story was far longer then it needed to be. The narrator made it easier to stay to the end as her voice worked well adapting to the tone and moods of each character. I enjoyed the plot and characters. But wish it had been shorter.

Look forward to seeing the movie

Disclaimer: Yes, I narrated the book so now that you know that I just have to say that reading this 23 hour book was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had as a narrator and reader.

Everyday I looked forward to being in the booth because all of the characters became people I cared about and the insights and revelations Tess encountered seeped into my own life. I didn’t know until the last chapter how it would end and wept at the end—partially because I had to say goodbye to these characters.

A beautiful love story told artfully.

I can’t recommend it enough.
