Overview

They say laughter is the best medicine - but for Jean Isaacson, it's also survival, sanity, and sometimes the only way to get through a Tuesday. In Oy Vey: It's Always Something, Jean looks back on the delicious absurdities of family, faith, and everyday chaos with the sharp humor of a born storyteller and the heart of someone who's lived it all. From kitchen mishaps to life's bigger messes, her stories remind us that joy and heartbreak often share the same recipe - just add a little perspective, a pinch of patience, and a healthy dose of humor. Told with honesty, warmth, and a wink, this memoir is a celebration of imperfection - proof that no matter what life serves up, it's always something worth laughing about.

Praise for Oy Vey, It's Always Something As I read Jean's story, I felt every emotion she experienced. I cried with her through the painful moments, laughed at her adventures and antics, and shared in her joy during the happy times. In every chapter I felt the deep compassion and forgiveness that defined her spirit - this book both moved and inspired me. For anyone who loves genuine, heartfelt nonfiction and true stories of resilience, humor, and love, you'll give it five stars too. - Laura Hepp, Vice President, Hepp Foundation Oy Vey, It's Always Something is a journey of the soul - a reminder that every challenge conceals divine purpose. With warmth and insight, Jean reveals how faith, mindfulness, and perseverance illuminate even the darkest moments. She inspires all of us to seek the spark of holiness within all things and to live each day with joy, purpose, and connection to G-d. - Rabbi Yakov Borenstein, Founder of Chabad of Longmont, Colorado, USA I loved how Oy Vey, It's Always Something transported me back to the early 1900s so I could share in this Jewish immigrant family's world from beginning to end. They had an abundance of love and deep connections to their Jewish traditions and faith, and that's all that mattered. This book made me proud of the immigrant Jews who came to America to start a better life and at the same time continue to honor their Jewish traditions and values. - Shira Rothman, Student I brought Oy Vey, It's Always Something with me on vacation. Once I started to read same, I could hardly put it down because I wanted to find out what was next, next, etc. My only disappointment came when I finished reading the book and there was no more! I would recommend Oy Vey to all who appreciate family warmth, sentimentality, and family history. - Mortimer I. Gordon, BGEN USAF (RET)
