For a decade she's hidden her career as a Christmas romance novelist from her family. Her talent has made her a bestseller even as her chronic illness has always kept the kind of love she writes about out of reach.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But when her diversity-conscious publisher insists she write a Hanukkah romance, her well of inspiration suddenly runs dry. Hanukkah's not magical. It's not merry. It's not \u003ci\u003eChristmas\u003c\/i\u003e. Desperate not to lose her contract, Rachel's determined to find her muse at the Matzah Ball, a Jewish music celebration on the last night of Hanukkah, even if it means working with her summer camp archenemy-Jacob Greenberg.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Though Rachel and Jacob haven't seen each other since they were kids, their grudge still glows brighter than a menorah. But as they spend more time together, Rachel finds herself drawn to Hanukkah-and Jacob-in a way she never expected. Maybe this holiday of lights will be the spark she needed to set her heart ablaze.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Praise for Jean Meltzer\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A seasonal romance with a difference' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople's Friend\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A funny, fresh holiday read to tickle your funny bone and warm your heart' \u003cb\u003eSheila Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'A warm, heartfelt ode to self-acceptance, honesty, and tight-knit Jewish communities, \u003ci\u003eThe Matzah Ball\u003c\/i\u003e gently - and rightfully - insists we don't need to be perfect or \"normal\" to deserve and find love.
