Sample Book Insights:

#1 A Jewish family today has two children. It wasn’t always like this. A hundred years ago, Jews, like everyone else, had lots of children. It was not uncommon for a woman to have ten or eleven children.

#2 The author continued to explain that in the early 1920s, the New York Yankees had a first baseman named Wally Pipp. Wally was good, not great, but fine. Like an opening act in Vegas, he did the job. But one afternoon, Wally wasn’t feeling well, so he told the manager he couldn’t play.

#3 I had many aunts and uncles that were not really my relatives, but close friends and business associates of my parents. I loved them all, and they meant the world to me and my parents.

#4 I learned that my uncle was gay when I was seven or eight. I was playing with my Barbie doll, and I wanted to show my uncle how beautiful she looked in her gold evening gown. Instead of saying something nice, he laughed and said, Flats are for informal, casual occasions. They go well with sundresses, culottes, or Capri pants, à la Mary Tyler Moore on The Dick Van Dyke Show.
