“Judd Foxman’s marriage has ended at a bad time. His father has died and he will spend a week sitting shivah with his dysfunctional family. His sister is in a loveless marriage, his older brother and sister-in-law are struggling with infertility, and his younger brother is a lothario incapable of a lasting, adult relationship. And the family matriarch? She’s a noted child-rearing expert with four screwed up kids.” –UW Bookstore
