From the acclaimed writer: a portrait of women in their element; funny, biting and poignant women's lit

Eager to finally stand on her own two feet, New York photographer Rachel Solomon finally escapes the clutches of her crazy Midwestern Jewish family, and the twisted machinations of her kooky best friend, Elizabeth. All is well until Elizabeth marries her brother, moves to her hometown, and becomes the daughter Rachel's mother always wanted: popping out babies named after her crazy dead Jewish relatives.

In this comic novel, readers who delighted in Speed Shrinking will find amusement in Rachel's desperate actions to prove herself worthy in the eyes of her traditional family--and navigate the precious waters between best friends.
