My One-Night Stand with God’s Assassin Pamela Jacobs’ ex-Duke roommate, Sarah Brody a New York assistant editor, calls, “Jump on the next plane to Boston! I’ve just read a manuscript destined to make your Bible read like Huckleberry Finn and my Torah seem like a Girl Scout handbook.” Pam tries to tell Sarah that she’s already maxed out all her credit cards, but hears only a click.
