"I Loved My Mother on Saturdays" is a celebration and compilation of the work of an award-winning Jewish storyteller that demonstrates the appeal of oral storytelling.

Funny and bittersweet renderings tales of an early twentieth-century American immigrant are told by a master storyteller. Roslyn evokes her childhood in the vanished world of the European shtetl, her transplantation to America and her time as a businesswoman in the garment industry in New York, as well as her introduction into the world of storytelling.

Where other Jewish storytellers tell stories about the shtetl--at eighty-five, Roslyn remembers it. The book will not only entertain and inform, it will offer an insight into the past that is unlike any other.

In, "Succos is for Sauerkraut," Roslyn remembers how her grandparents tried to keep her out of trouble while they prepared for the Succos holiday, all the while making her feel special. In "A Can of Paint," Roslyn remembers painting the outhouse in her underwear with her irrepressible cousin, Zisl.

There are also tales about the early twentieth-century American immigrant experience and trying to become "a real American girl." Among them, "Less Work for Mother", which is about the unfortunate choice of a non-kosher piece of cake from Horn and Hardart's automat as a Mother's Day present.

And Roslyn brings us up to date with tales of New York life. She's your favorite aunt, your bubbe, your mother's most fun friend. And her stories? Always wonderful.
