{"product_id":"9781939930170","title":"Matzo Balls and Christmas Trees: Memories of My Jewish Mother","description":"The holidays bring a special ache to those who have lost a loved one in December. The winter of 1974 rendered Randi Wolf Lauterbach a twenty-two-year-old orphan and changed her world forever. Thirty-seven years later, with the anniversaries of her parents' deaths approaching, Randi's mind was immersed in thoughts of her mother-thoughts clamoring to be recorded. A first-generation Jewish-American, Margaret Wolf possessed a sharp wit, a penchant for music and gambling, and a strong foothold in her cross-cultural community of family, friends, and neighbors. When she passed suddenly, the woman who had seemed larger than life became but a memory cradled in the hearts of those who knew her. But, oh, what memories she left!\u003cbr\u003eFramed with humor, nostalgia, and warmth, Matzo Balls and Christmas Trees paints a timeless portrait of familial love-a love that transcends life and death and is renewed with each passing season.","brand":"Brandylane Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019742134512,"sku":"9781939930170","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939930170_p0.jpg?v=1763667498","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939930170","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
