Dough by Mort Zachter

Mort Zachter's childhood revolved around a small shop on Manhattan's Lower East Side known in the neighbourhood as the day-old bread store. It was a bakery owned by his two eccentric uncles. In Dough, he chronicles the life-altering discovery that he was heir to several million dollars his uncles had secretly amassed in stocks and bonds.

MORT ZACHTER is currently working on a book about baseball legend Gil Hodges. His writing has appeared in Fourth Genre, Moment, Weatherwise, and Poetica. His memoiristic essay, "The Boy Who Didn't Like Money," was nominated for a Pushcart Prize. Before he became a full-time writer, Zachter had careers in law and accounting. He lives in Princeton, New Jersey.
