SUMMARY:Sibylline Author Simi Monheit to Talk “The Goldie Standard” at Moldaw in Palo Alto, CA
DESCRIPTION:Join Sibylline author Simi Monheit at the Moldaw Residencies in Palo Alto, CA on May 16th at 11am. Monheit, author of The Goldie Standard, will be talking about her new novel, followed by a book signing at the retirement community.\nThis event is FREE and open to the public! \nEVENT INFORMATION:\nMay 16th, 11am\nMoldaw Residencies\n899 E Charleston Rd\nPalo Alto, CA   94303\nBooks will be available to purchase for $17, or can be purchased here!\n \nHilarious and surprising, this unapologetically Jewish story delivers a present-day take on a highly creative grandmother trying to find her Ph.D granddaughter a husband who is a doctor—with a yarmulke, of course.\nGoldie Mandell is opinionated, assertive, and stuck in an Assisted Living Facility. But even surrounded by schleppers with walkers, pictures of sunrises and fancy fish tanks, and an array of daily activities to complement the tepid tea and stale cookies on offer, her salt-free plate is full. She’s got a granddaughter to settle, an eager love interest named Harry to subdue, and precious memories of her happy marriage to fellow Holocaust survivor Mordy to draw upon.\nMaxie Jacobsen is young, brilliant, and newly single, not by choice. But she’s got her science career, a grandmother to care for, and her whole life ahead of her. When Maxie takes on the role of her grandmother’s medical advocate, she has no idea Goldie operates with the single purpose of securing Maxie with Dr. Right. Instead, Maxie is distracted by her grandmother’s unexpectedly charming long-haired sandal-wearing, peculiarly-named driver, T-Jam Bin Naumann, definitely wrong in every way. While Maxie navigates her sunrise as Goldie confronts her twilight years and legacy, both are forced to challenge long-held beliefs that define their very existence and mutual devotion.\nIn alternating Goldie and Maxie chapters, this novel explores generational differences, the weight of tradition, and the resilience of love. Drawing on the long tradition of Jewish humor and pathos, The Goldie Standard mainly celebrates life.\nAbout Author Simi Monheit:\nBorn and raised in Brooklyn, Simi Monheit calls Northern California home. Simi is a graduate of Stanford’s Online Novel Writing Certificate program, has a Master’s degree in Computer Science and an undergraduate degree in English. She started writing after a career in technology.
