Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Moskowitz collects anecdotes chronicling various funny, tragic and eye-opening scenes of her life, many of which touch on the isolation she has often felt as a Jew in a Christian society.

From School Library Journal
YA-- Memories of past joys and sorrows are reflected in this collection of easy-to-read sketches from events in the author's life. Among the subjects included are a futile attempt to diet amid the tasty morsels at a family wedding reception and the poignant experience of helping a friend cope with cancer. YAs will be moved by and be able to identify with many of the experiences. The book will also serve as a tool for teaching the structure of the short essay. --Roberta Lisker, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA
