Her well-received book delves what into what happens when you grow up as the child of parents of different faiths. Then what happens when you yourself fall in love and commit yourself to someone who identifies religiously as other than you? And when the children arrive, how are they raised?
Miller explains the importance of these questions in her own life below:

Katz Miller’s book explores these issues and was reviewed in the February issue of The Interfaith Observer. Her November 19, 2013 article in Religion Dispatches, “Who Says the “Partly Jewish” Are Bad for the Jews?” is also here.
Traditional ‘wisdom’ for religious education in interfaith families has been that the children should be raised with one tradition. Being Both suggests a thoroughly interfaith approach to raising your family, one that is rigorous and demanding, and can provide untold benefits for everyone involved.
