Synopsis: a 79-year-old actor, singer-songwriter, and writer frequently argues with his 42-year-old wife-a once-aspiring artist and a fan of her now husband-about whether the fans or the stars have the upper hand in the power dynamic. Meanwhile, their 32-year-old neighbor-a fellow celebrity of the husband-tries to live out how to correctly handle fame-and she knows that her neighbors are watching her example.

¿[T]he protagonist of ¿Trying to Recover¿ has autobiographical elements and other elements that are based on the fact that I¿m still trying to recover what I began to recover in 2008 (I began doing genealogy research in the prior year, and I figured out that I¿m Jewish just months before I was able to confirm it.). I might take at least another 15 years to fully recover it¿and that includes that I¿m still working to recover what past generations almost took to the grave¿¿

"As someone else in the Facebook group "Tracing the Tribe" described in regards to her own relatives seeming to just disappear, when they seem to do so without a trace is just so weird (and I wish that I could find the exact words). When I read that comment, I thought, exactly! I know how that feels because of my cousin Rochla seeming to disappear without a trace. So, who was Rochla Andrelewitz, and what happened to her? This book documents what I've found out so far."

So began the discussion that Gary and Kimberley thought would occupy them for the...flight."Kimberley is making aliyah from Boston via L.A., and she meets Gary, whom explains the unusual way in which a Catholic priest used a Queen song to make an altar call. ("I went to Saint Patrick's in New York out of curiosity a couple of weeks ago.") When he does so, the conversation immediately shifts to subjects such as Zionism without a Messiah versus Zionism with one, predestiny, marriage, and the afterlife."Then it happened all so quickly...As Kimberley fell from her seat..., she reflected on everything...As far as Jesus, she concluded, 'If he is the Messiah, then he'll reveal that to me in the 'olam haba....' who "so loved the world" would be merciful enough.... Speaking of love..., she wondered if Gary had loved her and would have been with her."

"They were the unwanted - the ones whom did not exactly fit into either the Jewish or the gentile communities, although they were in fact Jewish and should have fit in as Jews...."Andrew Adam Andrulewicz and his brother-sons of a second-generation Holocaust survivor with relatives whom were Anusim and are B'nei Anusim, and a Black-Native American Creole woman whose faith they practice-navigate what that means for them as their and some of their relatives' unique and shared families are discovered and rediscovered.
