Author, poet, art curator, and medical doctor Marc Straus will appear live on Resiliency Within on Monday November 22nd 1 PM Pacific time to promote his newly published memoir of overcoming his childhood abuse and trauma in 1950s Long Island.

Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 11/22/2021 --Marc Straus will share his unflinching look at child abuse in the home and his ability to rise above it, One-Legged Mongoose reminds us of the bonds between siblings, the power of family secrets, and the way we learn to protect ourselves by protecting each other. He chronicles the physical abuse at the hands of his mother and the eventful start of his adolescence—which included a battle with polio, a surgery-requiring eye-injury, and an almost-fatal hit-and-run—Straus explores the Anti-Semitism he encountered in public school, in the community at large, and even in the Boy Scouts. And it's the Scouts that lend the book its title—a nod to a campfire story about a half-man, half-mongoose that's almost the height of a full-grown man, and that Straus and the other boys of Troop 300 are tasked with locating. As Straus explains, "I was willing to face it. I know all about monsters."
