Summary

"A celebration of the wacky and wonderful Jewish grandmothers who nurtured the author as she grew from a kid struggling with anxiety and insecurity to a teen finding her own voice. Danny Noble's mother insisted that they celebrate all types of religious holidays with fun and fireworks, but they wouldn't bother with the fasting ones as long as they were kind. Grandma would pinch her cheeks and say "shayne punim" which in Yiddish means pretty face, but to Danny and her little brother it sounded like "shame pudding". The author shares stories of her charming and eccentric family and her adolescent struggles with anxiety, fear, friendship, and romantic love."--Publisher's website
