Going Where They Belong is a collection of nine stories that voice the peculiarities and perceptions of ordinary, sometimes eccentric, people.
Most of the characters are plagued with inner instability and social marginality; all of them discover in themselves and others a caring humanity. By turns troubling, poignant, and whimsical, showing lives stricken by grief, turbulence, longing, and unfulfilled hopes, the book is ultimately uplifting and provides original, engaging storytelling.
"...these stories inhabit you with their specific and wonderful detail, their wit, their compassion.”
—Linda Saldaña, review in Eclectica
In praise of Glowing in the Dark, Stories of Wounded Healers:
“Judith writes with skill, artistry and honesty, unfolding these complex, creative and sometimes troubling stories of humanity with lessons for all.” -Jack Kornfield, author of A Path With Heart
"Her characters, like the author herself, are unflinching in their pursuit of truth and beauty, love and meaning. …Like Mahakala, the bodhisattva of compassion, Judith wields a sharp blade."
-Daniel Coshnear, author of Separation Anxiety
