Manhattan publicist Aimee Albert knows a good spin, but shes the one who winds up reeling when her gorgeous, goyishe boyfriend breaks up with heron Christmas! For a stand-up comedian, youd think he would have better timing. But Aimees not about to let a man who doesnt even have a real job get her down. She dusts herself off and decides to seek companionship with a member of her own tribe. Theres just one problem: all the shiksas are snapping them up!So when the very cute, Jewish, and gainfully employed Josh Hirsch catches Aimees eye at a kosher wine tasting and mistakes her for a shiksa, whats a girl to do? Hey, her heart was broken, not her head! Unfortunately, the charade goes on longer than Aimee planned, and her life becomes more complicated than a Bergman film. To make matters worse, Josh and Aimee arent exactly on the same page as far as their attitudes toward Judaism go, creating tension in the relationship. But as Aimee begins to discover that her identity isnt as easily traded as a pair of Jimmy Choos, she must decide if having the man of her dreams is worth the price of giving up so much of who she is. Wry and witty, The Shiksa Syndrome is a by turns laugh-out-loud funny and disarmingly poignant.
