ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"This is Where I Leave You" by Jonathan Tropper tells the story of the Foxman family as they gather for a week-long shiva following the death of their father. The novel centers on Judd, who is navigating a failing marriage, impending fatherhood, and the complexities of family dynamics. The shiva brings to the surface long-standing tensions and unresolved conflicts among Judd and his siblings: Paul, who blames Judd for an injury, and Phillip, who has a history of recklessness. The book explores themes of family dysfunction, grief, love, and personal identity as the characters grapple with their past and present relationships. The narrative is filled with dark humor and examines how a family copes with loss and falls into old roles. The story is about a family's journey through their pain and their struggles to connect with one another.
