Book Cover & Preview Text
“My father comes from a long line of traditional Jewish families. It’s true; when he got his DNA tested, he was 100% Jewish by race. None of his ancestors had ever married outside the Jewish faith. My mom, however, was a beautiful blonde California girl. And she definitely stole my father’s heart. She grew up a Christian. She was sweet, loving, and loved her God as well. But she was not Jewish. Jewish mamas always wanted their good Jewish boys to marry Jewish girls. A Shik-sa is a gentile (non-Jewish person) girl who comes along and steals the hearts of their good little Jewish boys. So my mother was a Shik-sa.”
