"A Day Apart is the first book to examine the Sabbath in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It describes the three weekly holy days - the Muslim Juma on Friday, the Jewish Shabbat on Saturday, and the Christian Lord's Day on Sunday - and introduces us to three families, including Ringwald's own, and shows how they observe the holy day and what it means to them."--BOOK JACKET.
