Between too little and too much is a rich tapestry filled with rage, real love, wisdom and deep complexities between members of the Cooperman and Robbins families. It is the intimate and atmospheric storytelling that follows four generations of a blended family who emigrated from Eastern Europe during the largest immigration of aliens to the American shores. Often funny, often painful, it is set against the backdrop of a tumultuous century. It reveals the grit of past as well as contemporary lives of ordinary and not so ordinary people. It is the story of Carol Cooperman, who's high school yearbook named her "The Golden Girl." Her mother said "All that Glitters isn't Gold " A depression baby, Carol grew up in Brooklyn during the lean war-torn 1940's and the A-bomb scare of the 1950's. A "nice girl" a benign term of the era, she reflects the pendulous swing of morals, ethics, gender, racial advances, and radical religious thinking that shaped her life. After a tragic even occurs; she considers her family's destiny and discovers that first, her own progeny must be secured.. Her father said, "You do what you gotta do." Of all the parables, proverbs, adages and sayings, she ever heard, Carol thinks that her parents were the wisest of philosophers.
