Description
This funny mother-daughter caper story stars 73-year-old, overweight former beauty, Aurora Hmans Feldenburg, who is a hapless, perpetually broke, eccentric divorcee living in the wealthy enclave of Marin County in Northern California. Aurora is wakened by a phone call informing her that her father’s widow has died. Possibly her last chance at solvency, she decides to drive to Los Angeles to see if there is a will and how she might benefit.
Enter Aurora’s high-strung daughter, 43-year-old Leyla Feldenburg Rothstein, who spends her days keeping up with the other Marin Uber mom’s, manically pursuing perfection in herself, her home, and her children. When she overhears a conversation at parent’s night at her children’s elite private school, and suspects her husband, an investment banker in the cannabis industry, is embarking on an affair, she decides to sneak into a Cannabis business conference he is attending, also in LA, to spy on him.
Aurora and Leyla’s separate quests simultaneously intersect and enmesh in Los Angeles over the course of a weekend provoking hijinks and chaos. Will Leyla break free from her mother’s toxic dependency? Will Aurora achieve her lifelong goal of financial security, as always, at Leyla’s expense? Can you survive your Jewish mother? Will mother and daughter ever be on speaking terms again?
