Book Synopsis
My Perfect Wife, Her Perfect Son reimagines the Holy Family’s story through the very human voice of Joseph. Mary’s pregnancy only begins his troubles. He has to navigate the unreasonable dictates of a disheveled, wise-cracking Angel Shlomo, Mary’s surprising insistence that she remain a “Blessed Ever Virgin,” pushy in-laws, Roman contractors, Jesus’s crazy cousin John, and the allure of the harlot Safiya, just a few of the challenges for an imperfect man assigned to become a role model for the son of God.

Trade Review
This is a fun and thought-provoking novel. Joe Benevento not only possesses an unbounded imagination, he also, even better, knows how to spin a helluva yarn."—Mark Wish, Founding Editor, Coolest American Stories

"Benevento has given his readers a unique gift, to flesh out this eminent narrative with deeply moving characterizations, beautifully subtle and skilled prose, and attention to detail."—Kate Kort, author of Glassand Laika
