Playing with Fire: The Long Return Home
One Woman’s Remarkable Odyssey
At the age of sixteen, Tonica Marlow, daughter of a Protestant minister father and an Egyptian Jewish mother, was accepted as the youngest student at a noted Christian theological college. Within four years she had become an ordained minister. Yet with all of her success within the church, she could not explain the deep void she felt inside. She asked questions, but the answers she received did not satisfy her.
And so began a remarkable quest for her heritage.
Tonica Marlow is now Tova Mordechai. She resides in Tzfat, Israel, with her husband and three sons. She has authored an autobiography titled “Playing with Fire”.
