The Town Book Store in Westfield will host Armand Miele and his daughter, Donna Miele, co-authors of the book, Born Minus: From Shoeshine Boy to News Publisher, An Italian-American Journey on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 2-4 PM to discuss their book and writing experiences.
Armand Miele's unique memoir, based on his biography and his musings for the Rockland County Times, tells the American struggle from every angle, from growing up with less than zero in the Depression-era Bronx, to building a successful business, to battling terminal cancer and winning, and surviving the devastating loss of a child. In his senior years, he revived the weekly Rockland County Times from bankruptcy, restoring a local institution and staunchly supporting the independent press. His inspiring story is about one man’s journey through life, beating the odds and coming out on top.
Meet Armand and Donna Miele at The Town Book Store located at 270 East Broad Street in Westfield (corner of East Broad and Elmer Streets). If you are unable to attend this event, please call The Town Book Store at (908) 233-3535 to reserve an autographed copy.
