Book Reading - Jewish Daughter Diaries: True Stories of Being Loved Too Much By Our Moms

Writer and editor Rachel Ament reads from her new book The Jewish Daughter Diaries: True Stories of Being Loved Too Much By Our Moms —a hilarious and heartfelt essay collection featuring stories by some of the most compelling
Jewish female voices in comedy, media, and pop culture today, including:
The Big Bang Theory and Blossom star Mayim Bialik, The Daily Show producer Jenna Friedman and Cosmopolitan sex and relationships editor Anna Breslaw.



In 28 searingly funny tales, the collection explores the complex, colorful and, at times, claustrophobic relationship between Jewish mothers and daughters. . Whether the essay features
an overzealous mom impersonating her daughter on Jdate, a mom who makes
half her daughter’s bed while her daughter is still sleeping in the
other half, or a mom who takes her camp‐hating daughter on a visit to a
“Jewish summer camp consultant”, the book is sure to strike a familiar
chord in anyone who has ever been over‐loved, over‐protected, or
over‐mothered.
