All the varieties of the human condition are here in Judith Beth Cohen’s collection of short stories – a Jewish bus driver in Texas, a Yoga guru, sixties rebels, struggling couples, and singles looking for love.
Mother-Daughter Banquet untangles the knot of memory and finds a thread of love and reconciliation.
Four siblings gather in Italy for their mother’s funeral. All fifty-something, all grief-stricken, they gather at their old holiday home in Tuscany, where their mother wants to be buried. 
“In this extraordinary collection, Ann Fisher-Wirth looks levelly at mortality, grief, and memory, and reckons with what it is to be urgently alive, bringing her incisive nuance to subjects ranging from the loss of a beloved sister to Mississippi’s Parchman Penitentiary to our imperiled natural world to the comforts of marital love. In ‘Wooden Comb,’ Fisher-Wirth writes, ‘I cannot reconcile how the world is sweet, how the world is burning.’ Paradise Is Jagged is too wise a book to promise impossible reconciliation. Instead it offers a benediction of sorts: Walk with me through this difficult and tender place, it says. Willingly, gratefully, we do.” 
If my mother hadn’t kept a baby book for me in which she recorded my birth weight, my bottle, my first words, my bedtime ritual, my toilet training — you get the idea — I would never have thought to write this parody of a baby book for middle-aged women and men.
“I don’t have words strong enough to convey the depth of feeling these stories aroused in me. Painful, poignant, wistful, evocative, hopeful, sensual, tragic . . . real. Simply stunning.”
A rare collection of diverse creators, The Lemon Tree is a kaleidoscopic work that contains some of the most creative women of our time. Nitza Agam, a Bay Area author, teacher, and poet, has compiled a work that reveals the truth behind what drives women writers and artists to express their creativity. Inspired by her late friend who hid much of her art in her attic, this work sheds light on women artists and writers, now for the first time, who convey what they have always known, some from an early age, their unwavering need to create using words or images or both. The essays reveal the struggles, the obstacles, the triumphs, and the joys of the creative process. Many of the authors and artists are Bay Area based, but also reside in Montana, Israel, and England.
Growing up in Greenwich Village in the 1940s – the shy and introverted only child of a glamorous, eccentric divorcée – was a challenge that proved to be lifelong – and ironically the catalyst that propelled the author to go on the professional stage.
