When Joel Berger, an affable single-guy from Brooklyn, finds out he’s dying of cancer in upstate New York, he makes up his mind to try to produce a family heir before it's too late. But how to find that unsuspecting, soon-to-be mother-to-be?
Joel decides to appeal to the women in his macrobiotic dinner group for help. And before long he’s surrounded by a cast of colorful female characters including his overbearing and often hilarious Jewish mother, Sylvia.
The seeds sown in this unusual family saga take root and begin to grow, branching out in unexpected ways, blossoming with unexpected grace. But will Sylvia approve of the "diverse" offspring her son has spawned? Can a clever and determined grandmother manipulate the outcome of this glorious enterprise called family? Sylvia will surely try!
Paternity will surprise and delight as its twists and occasional U-turns lead to a most ironic ending.
