An older man bemoans his virial youth, a teacher is falsely accused of harassment, and a patient is sent to six specialists to cure a common cold. A careless remark tests a lifelong friendship, Columbus sails to America hoping to fall off the edge, and a mountain man becomes a cantor during High Holidays. These are but a few of the thirty-eight short stories that comprise Daniel Wolf's third book, She Comes from Money. Like his first book, But Is He Jewish? and Other Quirky Tales, Mr. Wolf explores a number of genres such as Comedy (Blood Pressure, I Have a Cold), Coming of Age (The Breach, Larry Weiss), Fantasy (The Wheel of Samsara, Make the World Your Brother), and Realistic Fiction ( Hold My Beer, I Never Looked). Overall, She Comes from Money provides a delightful reading experience as it touches upon a variety of themes in an entertaining and always human manner.
