Andrea Askowitz

Check out my blog, it's so funny and poignant:  http://andreaaskowitz.com/?cat=all

Read my book, it's so funny:  My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy. Available at any bookstore or at Amazon.com.

Andrea Askowitz has the best life in the world.  She’s pregnant and healthy.  She has friends, family, money, and meaningful work.  And all she can do is obsess about the one thing she doesn’t have:  Kate, her exgirlfriend.  My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy is an antidote to sugar-sweet pregnancy guides and memoirs.  Irreverent, whip-smart, and side-splittingly funny, My Miserable is potent therapy for ill-timed break-ups, leg cramps, constipation, and everyother downside to a dream come true.

Slate.com said, "Andrea Askowitz is warm, funny and filthy." 

 The rabbi said: "Andrea Askowitz’s story reveals the unique journey of her pregnancy, her deep Jewish roots, values and questions.  As much as this story is about the pregnancy it’s also about her own Jewish parenting discovery." --Rabbi Jamie Aklepi, Congregation Bet Breira
