Sixteen-year-old Esther Rubenstein would rather study germs than find a husband. But when her family throws a grand Hanukkah ball to marry her off, she's armed only with her microscope, her grandmother's terrifying Guide to Female Wellness (vinegar douches, anyone?), and a dangerous talent for telling the truth. Between sabotaged latkes, suffocating corsets, and a handsome public-health inspector who actually likes her bacteria talk, Esther has eight nights to prove that a woman's brain is worth more than her womb-and that the real miracle might just be surviving your own body. A sharp, hilarious historical comedy about science, sisterhood, and the courage to rewrite the rules.
