About This Book

***Moving from the corner office to the corner candy store, Steven Robbins is willing to forsake everything he's earned to get back a piece of his past.*** Growing up in the Bronx in the 1940s, Steven Robbins was ***raised on egg creams, baseball stats, and the camaraderie*** that kept his melting-pot Bronx neighborhood humming during World War II. ***Robbins aspired to escape his humble roots,*** and eventually worked his way to Madison Avenue, where he became a hotshot ad man with an enviable wife. But as he pushes fifty and his marriage falls apart, ***Robbins begins yearning for a deeper happiness.*** Returning to his old neighborhood in the Bronx, Robbins seeks the simplicity of the life he once fled in the one place where he may ultimately find contentment. ***The Old Neighborhood is a warmhearted novel that shows it is possible to go home again, or to take home with you wherever you go.***
