I guess it all depends on how "into the weeds" the person wants to get.
A good standard source that is easy to follow and well organized, but that
doesn't provide much commentary is On the Doorposts of Your House: Prayers and
Ceremonies for the Jewish Home by CCAR. This is the newest edition:

Another good one that provides more commentary and reflection is The Book of
Jewish Sacred Practices: CLAL's Guide to Everyday & Holiday Rituals & Blessings
by Irwin Kula and Vanessa Ochs.

Hi, The mother of a friend of mine plans to convert and my friend would
like to get her a book that explains the origins and meanings of Jewish
blessings. I thought of "The Book of Blessings" by Marcia Falk, but I would
appreciate any other suggestions. Many thanks!
