Have you ever told yourself that one day you will tell your parents story? I know I have. Both of my parents are immigrants who chased the American dream. But I still haven’t, and I don’t know why. My guest today, Shirley Novack, has done this and wrote a book about her father and his amazing life coming to America as a young teenager after living in a brothel for three years in Poland with his little brother.
Her book, The Story Of… is a story of hardship, joy, overcoming the odds, and realizing the American dream!
Shirley also has some grand tales to tell from her life. Everything from living next to a victim of the Boston Strangler and being detained as a suspected terrorist by the Secret Service and local police.
Please enjoy my chat with the captivating Shirley Novak.
In today’s episode we discuss:
· Having one of her neighbors killed by the Boston Strangler.
· Her interest in true crime and wanting to be a police officer.
· Being detained by the Secret Service and police as a suspected terrorist.
