Confessions of a Tarot Reader

Jane Stern is the author of many food and popular culture books coauthored with Michael Stern. Her best-selling memoir Ambulance Girl was made into a movie starring and directed by Kathy Bates.

They are also heard each week on NPR's The Splendid Table. Jane Stern lives in Connecticut, and may be contacted through her website janemastertarot.com.

"[A]n insightful how-to guide that reaches far beyond simple directions for reading tarot cards. . . . [Jane] Stern chronicles the ways in which past readings have served as a launching point for journeys of self-discovery—for both herself and her clients. . . . Weaving anecdotes from her 40 years’ experience tangling with the occult, including particularly memorable readings she’s performed for herself, Stern provides a delightful take on a practice too often derided as scam or mere superstition."—Kirkus Reviews
