Much Ado about Jessie Kaplan

"Carla Goodman is worried. Her husband, a gastroenterologist in private practice, is coming home frazzled because medicine isn't what it used to be. Her son's teachers want to put him on Ritalin to stop him from wreaking havoc on the fifth grade. And her cranky twelve-year-old daughter has a bat mitzvah coming up." "But it's Carla sweet, widowed mother, Jessie Kaplan, who really has her baffled. Jessie has suddenly "remembered" that she was Shakespeare's girlfriend - the Dark Lady of the sonnets - in a previous life. Can even the famed Dr. Leonard Samuels, psychiatrist and author of the self help book How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love My Mother-in-Law, help with problems like these?"--BOOK JACKET.
