shiksa n. Yiddish 1: term used to describe non-Jewish women 2: a quintessential blonde beauty 3: a Jewish boy's dream 4: a Jewish girl's nightmare

After splitting up with her gorgeous WASP-y boyfriend, Jewish New Yorker Aimee Albert decides to take her mother’s advice and find a nice Jewish boy. The only trouble is that the Jewish guys are falling for the blonde Shiksas. Hair dye, green contacts, and a few mannerisms borrowed from her best friend transform her into a Shiksa Goddess and she attracts a wonderful Jewish man. Now the question is how long will the charade go on? The Shiksa Syndrome is a tale of love and identity, and how the search for one can sometimes play havoc with the other.

Laurie Graff, a New York City based writer and actor, is the author of the bestselling You Have to Kiss a Lot of Frogs and Looking for Mr. Goodfrog. She has performed both on and off Broadway, on national tours, regionally, and in many TV and radio commercials.

Hillary Huber is a multiple Audie Award finalist, an AudioFile Earphones Award winner, and an AudioFile Best Voice. She has recorded close to three hundred titles, spanning many genres. A huge fan of audiobooks, when she's not narrating one, she's listening to one!

Reviews

“Graff’s prose crackles with winning wit, making her…[tale] go down like a chocolate-covered macaroon.”

“Hillary Huber reads this story of mistaken identities with lots of energy and enthusiasm.”

“Audie Award nominee Hillary Huber brings Aimee, her family, and her friends to life, capturing each character’s distinct dialect, accent, and tone of voice. Recommended for fiction collections in public libraries.”

“Graff’s latest is by turns funny and poignant as she explores religious identity and modern relationships.”
