If you're looking to laugh out loud and read a feel good story, then 'A Perfect Fit' is for you!
The Jacobs family are really one of a kind! Midge, Ira and Adam are a Jewish family from San Diego. They recently moved to Arkansas to take over Eli's bookstore, which is Ira's father. This run-down bookstore is a sore in their sides and they need to sell it fast! Midge sets her mind to fixing the place up so someone will buy it.
Midge is the one who makes me laugh. From her designer shoes and clothes, with make-up to match, she does not fit in with the women of Arkansas. They wear whatever is comfortable and come up with things to eat that only they can love. (You have to read about when the ladies of the Church invited Midge to their pot-luck supper!)
Eli has been in a nursing home for several months, and his health is rapidly deteriorating. He has Alzheimer's Disease, but Adam goes to see his grandfather practically everyday. Even though Eli isn't coherent usually, Adam just talks and is there for him so he's not so lonely. They talk their own secret language, Yiddish. No one else in his family can figure out what they're saying, so that makes it an even more special time for them both.
Adam hopes he and his family won't have to stay long in this backwards town. They are so different from the people here that he doesn't fit in. But when a few people decide to let Adam in on some town secrets, things are really going to change for him. Even though losing his grandfather was the worst time in his life, there are other things that can make him happy.
