Overview
My Perfect Wife, Her Perfect Son reimagines the Holy Family’s story through the very human voice of Joseph. Mary’s pregnancy only begins his troubles. He has to navigate the unreasonable dictates of a disheveled, wise-cracking Angel Shlomo, Mary’s surprising insistence that she remain a “Blessed Ever Virgin,” pushy in-laws, Roman contractors, Jesus’s crazy cousin John and the allure of the harlot Safiya, just a few of the challenges for an imperfect man assigned to become a role model for the son of God.

Absolutely riveting. It takes a rare skill to infuse new life and energy into characters so well known. I was hooked to My Perfect Wife, Her Perfect Son from beginning to end.

Part carefully researched historical fiction, part comedic departure, My Perfect Wife, Her Perfect Son delightfully takes on the story of Jesus’s birth and upbringing.
