ebook

A collection of life stories so funny, moving that “you don’t have to be a Jewish feminist mama to love this book . . . but it wouldn’t hurt” (Tablet Magazine).
 
Here are the collected autobiographical writings of memoirist, poet, and professor Faye Moskowitz. Known for both her sense of humor—even in the bleakest of circumstances—and 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 “a book that will make you stand up and cheer” (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 “her piercingly tender observations about unlikely friendships, transgressive love, disappointing plants, and sacred Jewish rituals of the kitchen” (Lilith Magazine).

      next review begins the same way; change okay here? Moskowitzid needed/in last sentence, we give title of previous book; this sentence is already too long, without adding the id here.gs has put together a highly personal collection of short anecdotes chronicling various funny, tragic and eye-opening scenessince the examples given are not all events of her life, from her Russian Jewish parents' fear of strangers to caring for a terminally ill friend to an afternoon at a garage sale in rural Virginia. Many of Moskowitz's stories touch on the isolation she has often felt as a Jew in a Christian society. Peppered with wry but compassionate observations on family life, her own motives and the human condition in general, her essays are touching but never sappy or self-indulgent. Moskowitz (Whoever Finds This: I Love You ) seems like the sort of warm and motherly--but tough and humorous--person you'd love to have as a sister or best friend.
