Once A King, Now A Prince is a raw and powerful true story about family dysfunction, the mob, sex, drugs, and Rock โnโ Roll. It chronicles the life of the author, Ira, who endured and survived a deeply troubled childhood. From a young age, he suffered abuse from his father and emotional neglect, especially after his father brought his daughter from a previous marriage into their home.
Iraโs journey took a darker turn when he was admitted to the Psychiatric Ward at Kings County Hospital โ an experience so terrifying that it affected him physically. Yet, it was in that place that Ira began learning hard-earned lessons about survival. Later, on the recommendation of psychiatrists, he was sent to Hawthorne to escape his abusive home environment. After spending more than three years in isolation at Hawthorne Cedar Knolls, returning home felt like stepping back into a war zone.
This memoir is not just about trauma โ itโs about resilience, recovery, and growth. Iraโs story spans from his tumultuous youth to his later ventures in business and investment, offering readers insight into his remarkable transformation.
I binge-read this book; itโs an emotional rollercoaster and a testament to human endurance. I deeply admire the authorโs courage in sharing his story and his determination to rise above a painful past.
