Ruth Sheraton has choices to make. LA or New York? A wealthy older man or a sexy, younger lover? Caring for her aging mother or putting Mom in a home? Making peace with her cross-dressing brother and neurotic sister or declaring war? Tender is the Brisket isn't what F. Scott Fitzgerald had in mind. But, then, he never met the Sheratons. A Manhattan clan that puts a new spin on the term dysfunctional. With raucous humor, wit and steamy sex, this irreverent novel explores the plight of the Sandwich Generation - caring for aging parents while figuring out their own identity.
