Moe Fields

Stuart Z. Goldstein was one of the longest serving PR Spokespersons on Wall Street. As Managing Director of Corporate Communications & Public Affairs for the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) in New York, the largest trade clearing house ($5 trillion daily) and central securities depository in the world. Mr. Goldstein has co-authored 2 books explaining the inner workings of U.S. Capital Markets, numerous articles in PR trade magazines and his by-line on public policy issues has appeared in newspapers, e.g., USA Today, the Washington Times, the Star Ledger, Trenton Times and Global Financial Markets magazine. His first non-fiction book, Moe Fields (aka Murray Goldman), is a gripping narrative about a father's fighting spirit and determination to save his family and inspire his sons to succeed. Goldstein applies his gift of storytelling to bring us the story of Moe Fields, growing up during the Great Depression - from his teens as a Golden Gloves boxer, to his career as a Bootleg fighter in Brooklyn for money, to being a WWII sailor whose most prideful moment was singled out by FDR, to overcoming prejudice and building one of the large plumbing businesses in New Jersey. When a health crisis hits Moe, and later, a drunk driver causes a horrific car accident, crippling his wife, they are both left to deal with a lifetime of disabilities. But Moe digs deep to turn tragedy into triumph. We all have our Moe Fields. This treasure of a book is a poignant and thought-provoking memoir that captures the enduring power of role models in our lives. Goldstein has written a life-affirming story that's hard to put down-and hard not to talk about. At a time when we need heroes, this book celebrates the strength of family, faith-and the enduring legacy we leave our children.

We all have our Moe Fields. This treasure of a book is a poignant and thought-provoking memoir that captures the enduring power of role models in our lives. This gripping narrative is about a father's extraordinary work ethic and indomitable spirit in the face of adversity. Stuart Goldstein tells the story of a father's love for his sons in a captivating way. I was drawn in by his writing from the very first paragraph. Stuart's written a life affirming story with excitement and anticipation that makes it hard to put down-and hard not to talk about. This book is a Father's day gift for the ages-that brings back memories of the heroes in our lives.
