ABOUT THIS BOOK
While many Jews have picked Florida as the perfect place to retire, Matt Glassman has chosen it as the place to begin his adulthood. Perhaps that's because the pressures of life have always reminded him about his grandfather who mysteriously disappeared from the family twenty years ago. Now, while he tries to begin a family of his own, he also builds a relationship with the one person who might know the truth about his grandfather?s disappearance: his grandmother. She's remained stubbornly reticent on the topic all these years, but when a familiar old man shows up at Glassman's office he thinks he may finally get some answers.
AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY
Andrew Furman is associate professor and chair of the Department of English at Florida Atlantic University. His other books include Israel Through the Jewish American Imagination and Contemporary Jewish American Writers and the Multicultural Dilemma.
