This is the story of an embattled family and the mother who
tries to keep them together. In her case, from the
afterlife. A Little Help From Above explores the enduring
link between mothers, daughters, and sisters, and asks the
age-old question: who are the people in my life and what
was God thinking when he put us together? The story begins
when Sandy Lazarus, a deceased wife and mother, decides
that she's had it with decades-long family fighting. How
can she rest in eternal peace if she doesn't step in and
problem solve? Trouble is, divine intervention is a no-no.
On the other hand, enough is enough. It's just too bad that
instead of making things better, good old mom makes things
worse. Or maybe not.
A near-fatal accident back home forces Shelby, her 38-year
old, single-as-a- sock-in-the-dryer daughter, to return to
Long Island. Faster than you can say dysfunctional, a wild
chain of events forces her eldest to confront old
demons...her mother's untimely death, her father's
remarriage to her mother's younger sister, her own younger
sister's meshugina behavior, and the terrible void caused
by the disappearance of Matthew Lieberman, her childhood
love. But Shelby faces her biggest life crisis after discovering
that her younger sister, Lauren, is a DES daughter, and in
need of a surrogate mother. Up until now, Shelby wouldn't
consider lending anyone her designer shoes, let alone her
uterus. But the more Shelby learns about DES, the harder it
is to let Lauren face this struggle alone. A Little Help From Above is a poignant, entertaining and
emotional roller coaster ride that stops exactly where it's
supposed to. Home sweet home.
