Solomon Wohlman surprises everyone, even himself, when he unexpectedly
falls in love with a recent widow named Molly while attending
her late husband's funeral.
A practical man by nature, Solomon maps out a plan for winning
over the lovely Molly. Not everything goes as planned, but slowly
Solomon manages to draw Molly out of mourning and into his life.
This heartwarming tale is a piece of 1950's Americana. It reveals
how the first generation of Post World War II Jewish baby boomers
were adapting not only their language and customs, but even their
courting habits to their adopted land. In an age of soda fountains,
DeSoto, and synagogue dances, the new American Jew was inexorably
melding into his surroundings.
Solomon is a product of his age. But friendship, family, and
the security of his accounting profession are no match for the
one column in his ledger that never seems to balance ….
