While deeply enmeshed in the everyday occurrences of her community, Marcus, as a child, is determined to find a suitable husband for her mother and a benevolent father for herself among the available bachelors. Along the way, she becomes a fanatical Brooklyn Dodgers fan, a misguided violinist, a somnambulist, a neurotic, a matchmaker, and noted fashion model for her mother's stunning clothing designs.Marcus' experiences growing up with her mother in an enclave of Holocaust survivors portray a story no one knows...until now.
