Norah Jones (“IF You Know?” Book Excerpt)
…What ARE You?
“It is the glory of (YAH) God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.”
Proverbs 25:2

Norah is the daughter of Ravi Shankar.

What ARE you?
When I ran down my usual list of “nationalities,” including English, German, Polish, and Norwegian, I heard a blank stare response from my friend, Raqel over the phone.
I could almost hear the words, “and what ELSE?”
What else?
Secrets. Shame. Mystery…
