About this title

Synopsis:

In these often hilarious "prayers," Esther Cohen looks at family, friends, hysterectomies, yoga, sex, and age all with a twinkle in her eye. She addresses many of the pieces to God, but her God is more of a good Jewish friend than a powerful omniscient being. Most of the pieces end with "Amen," although, as she explains, she could as easily have ended them with "Bingo."
