The King of Orchard Street by Vincent Palmieri

Description The King of Orchard Street is a tale told by six men, including the author, over three generations and across the decades of the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Their stories recreate a world that was bound by a simple yet profound code of family, respect, cooperation, contentment, and acceptance for all. Due to the passing of time, these six men’s lives all intersected to varying degrees, but the daily living experience for each of them over thirty-plus years never varied. The ageless principles etched into the King of Orchard Street are more germane to this tumultuous planet than ever before. A small uncomplicated set of values that can be practiced every day by everyone may lead to a world where problems massive and minimal can be reduced, then vanquished.
