Hebron's Stories
If a story is important, then it must be told. We can portray dreams of what the future may hold, or allow introspection on what has occurred in the past. A story is a narrative that can relay lessons and warnings. A story can teach us about hope and remind us how important and meaningful our lives are.

Stanley Minch was born in the Bronx in the summer of 1945, the year the war ended and the whole city felt like it was exhaling.

He met Deborah at the firm, and after ten years of the truest kind of friendship, the thing that had always been quietly between them was no longer quiet.
