The High Rhode

I’m in Eretz Yisrael. I’m stepping off the plane. This is supposed to be a spiritual, uplifting moment. I’m just not feeling it. Maybe I just need to focus better. How can I not feel it? “Rocky, why are you crying?” Chaim asks. “Because I’m not feeling emotional!” I sob. He gives me a strange look. “You sound pretty emotional to me.” *** Rocky Rhodes and the gantze mishpacha are back! After a heilige trip to Eretz Yisrael, Rocky decides to downgrade her family’s dinners (“Kinderlach, here’s some delicious bread and water”) and simplify her own levush (“Sneakers? Sign me up”). Her father’s latest job — kombucha, anyone? — and her mother’s excessive spending habits push Rocky over the top. When will things get back to normal? In this fourth book of Bina Scharf’s hilarious series, fasten your gartel and hold on tight as Rocky Rhodes and crew navigate life’s ups and downs in search of the elusive high road.
