It’s Me from the Big Apple to Bean Town is the engaging continuation of the memoir It’s Me: The Early Years, Letters to My Daughter. In this new chapter, the author takes readers on a candid, heartfelt, and often humorous journey from New York City to Boston, reflecting on love, career missteps, self-discovery, and the pursuit of meaning.
 
Through a series of letters written to his daughter after her college graduation, the narrative explores life’s unexpected turns: from driving a cab in Manhattan to working in the South Bronx, from failed street ventures to encounters with Teach for America’s mission, and even working alongside Nim Chimpsky — the famous Columbia University chimpanzee at the center of groundbreaking sign language research.
 
Blending deeply personal reflections with thought-provoking observations, the memoir also embraces the complexities of intimacy and sexuality. Written with honesty and sensitivity, the author sheds light on the ways relationships, love, and desire shape health, happiness, and personal growth.
 
With humor, honesty, and flashes of raw vulnerability, this book is more than a memoir — it’s a record of transformation, resilience, and the courage to embrace change. Perfect for readers who enjoy literary memoirs, personal letters, and candid explorations of love, identity, and the human experience.
