A legendary long-seller — now in the popular Pocket book series.
 
Excerpt from the book
 
«Park Avenue, a cold March evening. I’m stuck in traffic in a cab on my way to a fancy party. With nothing to do, I look out... the window and see a woman 50 meters away from me, disheveled and dressed in rags. She is rummaging through a trash can. I know this woman.
A wave of fear washes over me. If she turns around and calls out to me, she will reveal my secret. I tell the driver to turn around and go back. The rest of the evening I feel shame; I’m shaking.
That woman is my mother».
