Jerrold S. Felsenthal [Published date: 2009]. Hard cover, 84 pp. Color illustrations throughout. [From back of dust jacket] EL PATION ANDALUZ REPRESENTS ONE OF THE FIRST NEW AUTHENTIC SPANISH COLONIAL Revival homes to be built in Beverly Hills in more than fifty years. The collaborative efforts of the owner and architect to recreate the authenticity of the 1920s and 1930s focused on the overall design, inclusion of hand-crafted materials and climate-appropriate landscape. No doubt future owners may well modify the house to suit their own tastes and/or requirements. The purpose e of this book was to document El Patio Andaluz, in Its original condition with the hope that it would be useful for anyone wishing to restore the home later and to know the intentions of its original owners. The secondary purpose, perhaps of greater value, was to provide encouragement and inspiration to anyone who is contemplating building the house of their dreams but has hesitated for fear of inexperience and/or failure. To those, I would say please reconsider, find an experienced architect and invest the time (and money) to prepare preliminary drawings. You may very well discover that such an effort can produce a feeling of immense satisfaction and confidence. If you decide to proceed with the drafting of final plans and the process of building, you will not only achieve the fulfillment of a dream, but also the enhancement of the quality and enjoyment of your life.

"Jerry’s memoir is Tuesdays with Morrie set in Beverly Hills. He gives us, in his poetic prose, a generous gift about living, giving and loving. Though from a humble beginning, he went on to help build Los Angeles into a luminous metropolis. His life tales will fill you with joy and hope. I’m in love with this elegant book. I laughed and cried reading it in one sitting." Da Chen, The New York Times bestselling memoirist and novelist of Colors of the Mountain and Brothers. We are less alone in the world than we sometimes believe. There are people in our lives who show their concern for us by giving us gifts that may not immediately reveal their importance. With this memoir, Jerrold Felsenthal thanks the family members, friends and colleagues whose generosity was designed to give him the brightest possible future. He recognizes both the givers and the profound personal influence of these gifts in all of their life-changing forms. Acts of kindness after a sudden death in the family, mentorship across a career in real estate, and whispered advice on the power of listening and respect are just some of the things for which this author expresses gratitude. Along the way, he finds universal themes in Jewish traditions while inviting readers to appreciate their own spiritual, professional and interpersonal gifts that have made their lives more meaningful.
