<p><em>On My Knees</em> is Periel Aschenbrand’s seriously funny follow-up to her debut memoir <em>The Only Bush I Trust Is My Own</em>.</p><p>At the beginning of <em>On My Knees</em>, we find Periel chain-smoking her days away on a plastic-covered couch, watching reruns of <em>Law & Order</em> while she squats in her deceased grandmother’s apartment and adjusts to being alone for the first time in a decade. So begins a Dante-esque journey through the many rings of single-girl hell that includes crazy one-night stands; an unhealthy attachment to a dental hygienist; a run-in with Philip Roth; and, in the end, a trip to Israel and an encounter with a man who just might be the one.</p><p>Hysterical and heartfelt, <em>On My Knees</em> traces Periel’s riotous attempt to rebuild her life, her relationships, and her trademark confidence.</p>
