Editorial : From Publishers Weekly Bernhard, an actress-comedienne whose brassy humor attracts a cult-like following, here offers a semiconfessional view of her life's landscape. Childhood memories of her father, a doctor, and her mother, an artist, are warmly rendered in scenes of the Jewish family amiably accommodating itself to the Christmas season, and of the obligatory communal vacations joined by colorful relatives.

The episodic snatches of quasi-autobiography, while less than illuminating, do reveal an underside, a hitherto undisplayed youthful vulnerability. Photos not seen by PW.

1. Beautiful! I bought it as a gift for a friend and got jaleous I need to buy one for me!
This rich book is an incredible source of inspiration. Given the constraints under which professor Gotthelf was working (a one-hundred page limit) it reflects sound judgment that he chose to concentrate on the areas that Rand judged to be fundamental and cover these areas well (relative to th
