Description

Please join us for the Barbara Eisenberg Literary Luncheon with author Marilyn Simon Rothstein on Wednesday, December 10 at 12:30 pm who wittily discusses the relationships between parents and their children and grandchildren in her novel Who Loves You Best.

The story revolves around Jodi Wexler, a grandmother who travels to help her daughter with her granddaughter and discovers she has to compete with two other “grandmothers.”

The relationship between the three women evolves from dislike, self-centered jealousy, and oneupmanship to something more positive. Their newfound sense of unity grows out of an understanding that they need to do what is best for the granddaughter, Macallen. Who Loves You Best is a relatable and funny novel.

Marilyn Simon Rothstein is the author of Who Loves You Best, Crazy to Leave You, Husbands and Other Sharp Objects, Lift and Separate. She grew up in NYC, earned a B.S. in journalism from NYU, an M.A. in Jewish Studies, began her writing career at Seventeen Magazine, married a man she met in an elevator, and owned an advertising agency for twenty-five years.
