More about the book
NATIONAL BESTSELLER For years, people have been curious about the Emanuel family, particularly Ezekiel “Zeke” Emanuel, the eldest brother known for his outspoken nature. Middle brother Rahm serves as the mayor of Chicago and has held significant political roles, while youngest brother Ari is a Hollywood superagent, famously depicted in the series Entourage. Zeke, a leading bioethicist and oncologist, reveals how this family of modest means produced such high achievers. Set against the backdrop of 1960s and 1970s Chicago, the narrative explores the intertwined lives of these three competitive Jewish American brothers, each with unique stories. The family's history includes tough, colorful grandparents, a loving father who immigrated to America with just twenty-five dollars and shared tales of his adventures in Israel’s war for independence, and a politically engaged mother who involved her sons in rallies and protests, including a civil rights march led by Martin Luther King Jr. Despite their individual successes, the brothers maintain an unbreakable bond. This memoir offers a wry, poignant look at how one American family raised three extraordinary children, capturing themes of identity, rivalry, and moral lessons.
