Born Minus

Armand Miele’s unique memoir, based on his biography and his musings for the Rockland County Times, tells the American struggle from every angle, from growing up with less than zero in the Depression-era Bronx, to building a successful business, to battling terminal cancer and winning, and surviving the devastating loss of a child. In his senior years, he revived the weekly Rockland County Times from bankruptcy, restoring a local institution and staunchly supporting the independent press.
