The Love Elixir of Augusta Stern

In "The Matchmaker's Gift," performed by Gabra Zackman, eighty-year-old Augusta Stern navigates a new chapter in her life after moving to a senior community in Florida, where she unexpectedly encounters Irving Rivkin, a figure from her past who once broke her heart. The story unfolds in a dual timeline, exploring Augusta's youth in 1920s Brooklyn, where her father's pharmacy and her great aunt's unconventional healing methods shape her journey. As she grapples with past mistakes and questions the authenticity of her first love, Augusta seeks to reclaim the magic of her earlier years before it’s too late. The audiobook also includes an author's note read by the author, adding depth to the narrative.
