Rachel Angel-Sussman was born in1950 in a refugee absorption centre in the newly established state of Israel. Her childhood was a blend of joy, hope and vision as well as sorrow and hardships – all of which laid the foundation to an inner and outer inquiry of life, humanity, and her own identity. The author migrated to Australia in 1971 following her marriage to an Australian citizen.

While the questions and seeking were always there it was only in her thirties that the author’s conscious inner journey commenced. This journey included the completion of a tertiary education, a working life both as a counsellor in private practice and as a social welfare worker in the public and community services sector, and an ongoing personal inquiry.

In 2015 the author’s first book To Life – A Journey of Home Coming and Re-Discovering Our Self and Our Humanity was published bringing to paper this thirty-years journey. Religion and Judaism from A Different Perspective, published in 2021, sheds further light on this journey. Both books aim to support readers’ Home coming, and promote inner and outer peace.
