They say it's bad luck to meet at a funeral. But that's exactly where Louise and Leon met. She's the daughter of a Freudian scholar raised in a New York Orthodox Jewish family; he's a budding psychotherapist. On their very first date, they manage to evoke hostility, but a second, almost accidental meeting changes everything. Thus begins the story of the Rosenberg family—sometimes funny, sometimes shockingly absurd, and sometimes tear-jerkingly poignant. Everything is going well for them until Louise learns of her illness, the same one that slowly but inexorably took her mother's life, and she decides to manage her remaining time on her own. Is this more self-denial or selfish? It's hard to say, for love is unmeasurable, yet it is always stronger than death.
