Local Author Event-Steve Bernstein will be here signing his book Stories from the Stoop: A Memoir of the 1960's Bronx

Please join us in welcoming Steve Bernstein to our Local Author Event. Steve will be signing copies of his book Stories From The Stoop. 

As a kid, Steve survived the turbulent Bronx streets of the 1960's and chaos at home. Since his early twenties, Steve has been a mentor, teacher, and advocate for teens in trouble. Steve is also a humane educator and animal rights activist who shares his home in Western Massachusetts with Dodger and Jonnie, his non-human family.

The Outsiders meets This Boy's Life, in this coming-of-age memoir about growing up in the Bronx during the 1960s among racial tension, street violence, and trouble at home.

Stories from the Stoop is a triumphant and tender coming of age journey that will capture your heart and feed your soul. Steve's voice, spare and street smart, resonates across age and ethnicity, to offer the possibility that life circumstances need not predict destiny. All you have to do is find enough courage, compassion and chutzpah to win out.
