Chapter One
A New Yorker at heart.
Born and raised in New York, Mark carries the city with him wherever he goes — the grit, the warmth, the unshakable loyalty to the people he loves. He is a proud Jewish father whose faith and family are the two pillars his life has been built on.
He has worked tirelessly for as long as anyone can remember. Long days, longer years. Not for himself — but so that his wife, his children, and now his grandchildren never have to wonder if they are loved, supported, or seen.
Everything he has built, he built for them.
