Plus One is a funny novel about an interfaith family set in contemporary Los Angeles. Alex Sherman–Zicklin is a midlevel marketing executive raised in the hippie mountain hamlet of Ojai, whose wife Figgy’s fourteenth TV pilot becomes a huge Emmy–winning hit. Overnight, he’s sucked into a mad show business vortex, quitting his job to become the family’s “domestic first responder.” Along the way, Alex must negotiate the demands of his Jewish in–laws and his own mystic–folksinging mother. Plus One tells the story of a caretaking support goy, his breadwinning Jewish wife, and the fast–changing roles of parents and partners.
