| River Ridge, New Jersey, 1978: As feminism takes root in this tight-knit Modern Orthodox community, women are starting businesses, rethinking their marriages, and challenging their synagogue's long-standing rules.
Not Marilyn Weisfeld.
Once a promising writer, Marilyn gave up her literary dreams twenty years ago when she married Jerry, a self-important professor of economics. Now, she's too busy raising children, braiding challahs, and entertaining her husband's insufferable colleagues to think about what else her life might have held... until the night an old friend comes to dinner.
Bestselling author Henry Goldfarb remembers Marilyn's early stories. He remembers her. When he encourages her to write again, she starts sneaking into Manhattan every week to see him. In long afternoons of shared stories, easy laughter, and soul-baring conversations, Marilyn catches glimpses of a more fulfilling life she could be living - if only she can find the courage to reach for it.
Caught between the comfort of old rhythms and the thrill of new possibilities, Marilyn will have to decide exactly what price she's willing to pay to live bravely, authentically, and without regret.
Warmhearted, funny, and relatable, All Afternoon is a powerful debut about the quiet ache of losing yourself and the courageous work of finding your way back. |
