Book Description
What happens when a young Jewish girl grows up in an upper middleclass household in New York City and attends the best Jewish schools and camps, only to be catapulted into WASP---White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant---territory as soon as she reaches her teens. From attending elite, primarily gentile, private schools and exclusive clubs to sleepover weekends at the homes of her high school WASPy friends, she is left not just a bit bewildered but also amused. Nevertheless, in this rarified environment, she meets and marries "Superwasp" -- a direct descendant of the Mayflower! With incisive wit and a generous spirit, the author entertains us with stories of her Jewish family and their social crowd, as well as of her gentile friends and their activities. Oy Vey, I'm Going to Church is at once provocative and funny...and completely unputdownable.
