Herzl Street DAYS: A Brooklyn Memoir
STORY SYNOPSIS
Through stories of stickball games, handball matches, basement parties, block celebrations, and summer adventures, Ward captures a time when neighbors looked after one another and children grew up surrounded by support and encouragement. At the center of the story is his mother, Ms. Roberta Ward, whose dedication to helping local youth created opportunities that left a lasting impact on countless lives. The memoir serves as both a personal reflection and a tribute to the strength of community.
Ward wrote Herzl Street Days to preserve the memories, values, and lessons that defined his upbringing. As a father of eight, grandfather of twenty, and great-grandfather of four, he brings a lifetime of leadership, service, and family devotion to his storytelling. His experiences in the military, ministry, and community service enrich this inspiring account of growing up in a close-knit neighborhood where people genuinely cared for one another.
