A collection of life stories so funny, moving that âyou donât have to be a Jewish feminist mama to love this book . . . but it wouldnât hurtâ (Tablet Magazine).  Here are the collected autobiographical writings of memoirist, poet, and professor Faye Moskowitz. Known for both her sense of humorâeven in the bleakest of circumstancesâand her insight into the relationships that define who we are, where we come from, and where we hope to be going, Moskowitz shares her own life stories in âa book that will make you stand up and cheerâ (The Detroit News).  From her childhood in Detroit during the Great Depression to the time when her mother abandoning the family to pursue her own dreams; from helping a dying friend simply get through another day to a hilarious account of binge eating at a wedding; from finding love and leaving home to building her own family and legacy, these recounted experiences give us âher piercingly tender observations about unlikely friendships, transgressive love, disappointing plants, and sacred Jewish rituals of the kitchenâ (Lilith Magazine). |
