Amusing but Poignant New Novel for Jewish widows.

I’m writing to you as the author of a newly released novel about widowhood. After losing my father and father-in-law and watching my two mothers cope with their individual losses, I felt it was time to introduce a novel that dealt with widows’ issues. And because I am Jewish I wrote about Jewish widows. I have been receiving a wonderful response to the book and after coming across your site online, thought your members might enjoy it. The book is titled, Life, Death ,and Doughnuts.The synopsis…See More

About Me:
I am not a widow. I am writing as the daughter of a widow and the daughter-in-law of a widow. Their experiences as well as experiences of several widowed Jewish friends led me to write my new novel, Life, Death, and Doughnuts, about a group of 4 Jewish women and their 50 year friendship. The book begins in 1944 and ends in 1994 when three of the four women have become widowed. It is a funny, but poignant look at widowhood and recently sold out at the Jewish Book Festival in NY. I'd like to suggest it to your members. I also make personal appearances.
