Debut novel tells the story of Ida Mae Glick, a critically acclaimed filmmaker who suffers a near-fatal heart attack when she tries to live on the same meager rations as a group of homeless people she is filming. Confined to her hospital bed, she confronts a past of substance abuse and failed love affairs, along with an angry, estranged identical twin and the ghostly Jewish mother who wants to see the twins reconciled.
