Edgy Manhattan shutterbug Rachel Solomon can't wait to escape
her difficult Midwestern Jewish family of doctors--and her crazy,
condescending WASP friend and photography mentor, Elizabeth Mann.
Not so easy when Elizabeth marries Rachel's surgeon-brother, moves
to the Midwest, and becomes the daughter Rachel's mother always
wanted--one who pops out four babies in a row, who are named after
Rachel's dead Yiddish-speaking relatives.
Although Rachel long ago rejected the suburban female role,
she's shocked to find she's been replaced. With unsparing candor,
sparkling emotional insights, and hilarity, the girl who cut
herself out of old photographs now has to fight her way back into
the Solomons' photo albums, homes, and hearts.
From the author of the hilarious fictional debut
"Speed""Shrinking"--which became an international phenomenon--and
the acclaimed memoir of past passion
"Five""Men""Who""Broke""My""Heart" comes a new book that blows the
lid off of the secrets of female friendship. Based on a true story,
Susan Shapiro's darkly comic novel "Overexposed" chronicles the
brilliantly twisted tale of two strong women who wind up switching
lives.
