ROMANCE. CRIME, ILLICIT DRUGS and MENTAL HEALTH are intimate timeles talking points.

 

Chasing The Mongoose is the true story of a Baby Boomer's search for the meaning of life From birth onward, Danny faced uncertainty.

 

"Your conception was a mistake, but since it happened Mom wanted a girl." Danny didn't ask to be here. Handling life's daily challenges was a struggle. Where did he belong?

 

Pursuing a lifetime search for unsolicited love, he casts himself as a White Knight. The essence

 

of love misunderstood; recognition and admiration become the goal.

 

From the shores of Coney Island to his interactions with up and coming Congressman Chuck Schumer, this medical school Dean is suddenly missing in action. Israel security couldn't stop him, but betrayal did.

 

Evolving from government reformer to the dark side confirms his belief that peoples' words and actions are phony and self-serving.

 

Against all odds, he finds certainty and the meaning of life when fathering a loving family.

 

Josh Z. wrote, "It's a wakeup call that even in the face of adversity, we can find meaning purpose and beauty in life."

 

Sheryl B. wrote, "This book is wonderful on so many levels: it's about dysfunctional upbringing, crime and punishment, great success and even greater defeat and mostly the lengths one man may go for love! Excellent page turmer."

 

Shachar B. wrote "His life's weaving is a telling tale every millennial with a base level of comfort needs to hear. What risks and life changing choices we have not taken as a collective lest we lose our quality of life as Mr. Suster took to one day make himself a family man. What does society lose from our flight to comfort? What stories will we tell about how we upended our life?
