"Meryl Ain's wonderful new story collection, Remember to Eat, takes its mother-daughter characters through almost a century of American Jewish life, from the 1930s to the present day, and by the end of the book I felt completely caught up in the lives of mother Alice and daughter Marjorie. Compelling, poignant, and often funny, the stories are well worth reading!"–Deborah Kalb, author of Off to Join the Circus

“A moving, finely observed collection, Remember to Eat captures the small, indelible moments that define a family across generations. With wit and tenderness, these linked stories trace the bond between mother and daughter as they navigate shifting roles, cultural upheavals, and the changing face of Jewish life. At once intimate and expansive, the book offers readers the warmth of lived-in characters and the sharp clarity of social commentary. A wise, empathetic, and deeply human portrait of resilience, identity, and love.”—Jacqueline Friedland, USA Today best-selling author of He Gets That From Me and Counting Backwards

“Luminous, thought-provoking stories centered on three generations of women carry me back to coming of age in Queens, New York, shining a light on the odd and often misunderstood expectations of changing times. Mazel tov to talented educator and award-winning author Meryl Ain. Remember to read Remember to Eat.”—Marilyn Simon Rothstein, author of Who Loves You Best and Crazy to Leave You

“Reading Remember to Eat is a bit like stepping into a time capsule and seeing the women who stood before us and, at times, stand alongside us. Ain skillfully illuminates the Jewish narrative—her characters come alive, and we as readers share the ride through their struggles and their triumphs. This is a great book club read, something every generation can appreciate!”—Adina Genn, journalist and author
