For a while, life proved exactly as she’d prepared: glamorous parties; beautiful people; an ideal job, house, and man. But when it all came crashing down, she discovered herself about Jujitsu Rabbi as well as the Godless Blonde: A True Story catapulted into another globe. She moves into Brooklyn’s tremendous Lubavitch community, and lives with Cosmo, a thirty-year-old Russian rabbi who practices jujitsu privately.
