But not just any husband...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHilarious and surprising, this unapologetically Jewish story delivers a present-day take on a highly creative grandmother trying to find her Ph.D granddaughter a husband who is a doctor--with a yarmulke, of course. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGoldie Mandell is opinionated, assertive, and stuck in an Assisted Living Facility. But even surrounded by schleppers with walkers, pictures of sunrises and fancy fish tanks, and an array of daily activities to complement the tepid tea and stale cookies on offer, her salt-free plate is full. She's got a granddaughter to settle, an eager love interest named Harry to subdue, and precious memories of her happy marriage to fellow Holocaust survivor Mordy to draw upon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaxie Jacobsen is young, brilliant, and newly single, not by choice. But she's got her science career, a grandmother to care for, and her whole life ahead of her. When Maxie takes on the role of her grandmother's medical advocate, she has no idea Goldie operates with the single purpose of securing Maxie with Dr. Right. Instead, Maxie is distracted by her grandmother's unexpectedly charming long-haired, sandal-wearing, peculiarly-named driver, T-Jam Bin Naumann, definitely wrong in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn alternating Goldie and Maxie chapters, this novel explores generational differences, the weight of tradition, and the resilience of love. Drawing on the long tradition of Jewish humor and pathos, \u003ci\u003eThe Goldie Standard\u003c\/i\u003e mainly celebrates life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sibylline Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960573971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328","brand":"Simi Monheit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43733095022773,"sku":"9781960573971","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5511b027-ff37-4f39-bb1c-4204a24a603f.jpg?v=1710258493","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-goldie-standard-9781960573971","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
