From The Author:

“I come from a stereotypical New York Jewish dysfunctional family, like something from an episode of Seinfeld or a Woody Allen movie. The main difference is there wasn’t anything funny in my real-life version. Actually, it created enormous anxiety and crippling fear. My grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Eastern Europe in the early 20th century, but they never lost that 19th century mentality and actually passed it on to their children, my father and his sisters. They did what they were told and I was to do what I was told. But I broke the mold! I took my childhood dream and made it a physical reality. That journey was long with many obstacles, downfalls and disappointments, but I persevered. And If I can do it, so can you. That is the message of my book. I encourage you to read, enjoy and most important, to find things in my story that you can identify with, things that may have held you back from achieving or attaining your dream. If I can do it, so can you.”
