Author Ilene Beckerman at the JCC

COME HEAR ILENE BECKERMAN SPEAK AT THE JCC IN SCOTCH PLAINS!

Ilene Beckerman wrote her first book, a memoir, at age 60.  Love, Loss and What I Wore was about her life before children, and it was adapted as a record-breaking off-Broadway show by Nora and Delia Ephron.  Her latest memoir, The Smartest Woman I Know, is about her grandmother, Ettie, who only had a third-grade education but dispensed unforgettable wisdom.

"With its compact format and bright colors, The Smartest Woman I Know by Ilene Beckerman, looks deceptively cute, but it's a deeply felt homage to the author's 4-foot-10-inch grandmother Ettie."   - The Jewish Week

"After reading Beckerman's humorous collection of nuggest of Ettie Goldberg's wisdom, I agree everyone else needs a Jewish grandmother."  - The News-Review
