Immediately following Shabbat services. Manless in Montclair: How a Happily Married Woman Became a Widow Looking for Love in the Wilds of Suburbia is a story of love, loss, and finding your place in the world, even when you find yourself in the last place you thought you'd ever be. Once upon a time, Isabel, a woman of short stature and big dreams, was desperately searching for her niche. Enter Michael, divorced, 15 years her senior, a recovering alcoholic, and the last person Isabel expects to end up with. But love conquers much and when Michael proposes on their first anniversary in a New York deli, Isabel gleefully accepts. Fifteen years later, Isabel returns home one day to find Michael dead on the living room floor, leaving her a widow and a single mom at 41. When a rabbi informs her that the traditional mourning period for a Jewish widow is 30 days, she can't imagine finding the strength to move forward, let alone date. But a year and a half later, when her youngest daughter requests a daddy for Chanukah, Isabel realizes that it's time to put on some lipstick and find herself a new man.
