Book Overview
A 184 page Holiday Romance
Work-obsessed Nora Ruben is tired of playing by the rules, especially when her boss delivers grim news at the company holiday party. Ready to let loose for one night, she escapes to the Matzo Baller, her friend’s famed Hanukkah harbor cruise around Manhattan. Her only rule? No work talk from sundown to sunrise. And if a cute co-worker joins her, even better.
Alex Beckman is struggling to find his place in his family’s business, where he’s been tasked with cutting a company’s staff in half. At the top of his list is Nora, the whip-smart woman he can’t seem to resist—and who has no idea who he really is. When their Hanukkah cruise turns into an unforgettable weekend, Alex must choose between his family’s expectations and the possibility of something miraculous.
📕 Optional Supplemental Book: All-of-A-Kind Family Hanukkah by Emily Jenkins: a children's picture book about a Jewish immigrant family living on the Lower East Side in 1912.
