Holland Avenue in the Bronx, New York may have been like thousands of other streets in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s. But some of its former residents have forged a rare bond and lived the good life for more than six decades. Their individual successes are not so different from millions of other big city natives. However, how they achieved these successes and the ties that among such a large group have endured and flourished over such a long period of time make this a compelling, revealing and instructive story.
The Bronx Times said about the Holland Avenue Boys' story, " It is a revealing portrait with ups and downs, heartbreak and hardship, camaraderie and conflict, joy and passion, love and reverence for a bygone era and spanning more than (60) years."
It is a piece of history that reaches across generational lines.
A Teachers-Facilitators Guide, Pointers for Parents, Friendship Poem and a Success Creed are included in the book.
