As a last attempt to break into movies, straight-to-video actress Claire Greene flies to Miami to have her tuchas evaluated by a top body-double agency. She is seated next to an elderly man named Abraham Fabrikant, whose sudden death leaves her stricken with guilt for having ignored him throughout the flight. So she stays with the body and lies to his family about sharing his last minutes. Upon discovering that Abraham, a Holocaust survivor and wealthy philanthropist, was really her grandfather, Claire embarks on an emotional roller coaster driven by ghostly visits from her recently deceased grandfather, her secret adoption, new and old dysfunctional families, a near coma, and a complicated love affair with an (adopted) first cousin. The middle of the book drags as Claire, a born drama queen, gets hysterical about her new family situation. Still, she does have a lot to adjust to, and second-time novelist Rosenberg (A Little Help from Above ) gives Claire a sense of humor and plenty of attitude to help her (and us) get through her problems. Recommended for popular fiction collections.--Lisa Davis-Craig, Canton P.L., MI
