Welcome to my updated website. I feel like my 8-year-old self on the day my dad presented me with a brand new — used — inner tube with my name on it. It was ready to take me places, and I was ready to go.

I hope you’ll browse around a bit and enjoy my riffs on life from the point of view of a woman with a career, a husband, grown-up kids, a conscience — and an incurable case of the human condition.

ON THE FUNNY SIDE

A Case of the Human Condition: He Never Called Me Back . . . Why?

book jacket for Why He Didn't Call You Back by Rachel Greenwald.

The book’s cover was fuchsia, its title blunt: “Why He Didn’t Call You Back.” Just what I needed years ago when I was young and single and wondering why so many guys would take me out once or twice — then disappear without explanation. Gone. Evaporated. Poof. Read more.
