25 Questions for a Jewish Mother
By Judy Gold and Kate Moira Ryan
$22.95 h/c

"How many times a day do you call your children/mother? ...What is Jewish mother guilt?...Who is your favorite woman in the bible?...Were you or any of your relatives affected by the Holocaust?"

Stand up comic Gold with playwright Ryan traveled across the country presenting a sample of questions to more than 50 Jewish women of different ages, backgrounds and occupations.  What resulted was a springboard for a monologue first presented by Gold as a one woman show, and now expanded into an anecdotal biography.  Gold incorporates her own adventures in Jewish motherhood and her own memories of growing up with a Jewish mother, with voices of 50 other Jewish mothers for a poignant, funny and moving read.
