A Little About A Favorite Son:

A Favorite Son offers a present-day twist on the biblical story of Jacob and his mother Rebecca’s plot to get their hands on the power and inheritance of their family. It’s not an old fairy tale – the potential lies in each of us.

Early in the story you feel the bitter rivalry between Yankle and his brother – becoming intimately engaged in each fascinating character and the powerful emotions that drive their choices. Yankle yearns to be his father’s favorite son, even if it includes deceiving him. However, Yankle fears being discovered. And so – covering his arm with the hide of a kid, pretending to be that which he is not, he is now ready for the last moment he will have with his father.

What People Are Saying About A Favorite Son:

“She manages to bring the story forward by inserting contemporary language (Isaac even promises Rebecca the equivalent of a Rolls Royce!) and in doing so she opens the old story to be instead a lively psychological study of family and of greed and longing for paternal love and more. It works spectacularly well.” –Grady Harp

“Ms. Poznansky’s ability to create characters that are quite relatable and emotional and that encompass the range of human emotions- fear, rage, insecurity, love, desire, hatred, and the all-consuming need for acceptance from a parent, is unparalleled.” –Angela Davis
