Jules Rothman is bound for financial success and a happy marriage. His path is clear until his boss pushes him to leave Atlanta, the only home he’s known, for a golden opportunity. While he is anxious to accelerate his career, Jules worries about the uncertainties that await him.

Arriving in Miami, he strives to rebuild routine and predictability but is shaken when he encounters his great uncles: four eccentric bachelors living together in a decaying house. Bit by bit, he learns how they started as children of poor Jewish immigrants in early 20th-century Brooklyn, then grew into hopeful young adults thriving in business, romance, and fashion. In time, dysfunctional family dynamics led to fateful turns that brought them to their present discontent. Their collective regrets frighten Jules, undermining his confidence in the choices he is making.

Intriguing people and startling adventures around Miami raise more questions about the path he’s on. Despite his growing doubts, he dreads losing all he has invested, so clings to the comfort of what’s familiar. When a breaking point arrives, Jules is astonished to find clarity in the complicated brotherhood of his great uncles.

The Brothers Isaacson is a heartwarming story about the ways our choices in life are driven by our family’s emotional inheritance. If you like family sagas filled with love, inspiration, and humor, this book is for you.
