“Jen Rubin outlines the tale of a successful family storefront business with panache, and it includes the New York story of beginning, striving, belonging, and of heart, soul and compassion…” Gail Brewer, Manhattan Borough President

“The best political stories are the human ones, and Jen Rubin recognizes this.  We Are Staying is a remarkably powerful, poignantly told story of a family, a business, a neighborhood and a city…Anyone who cares about urban policy, the history and the future of New York City and of a country that suffers from so much division yet has the potential still to unite, will cherish this book.” John Nichols, The Nation

Jen Rubin leads storytelling workshops, co-produces the Moth Story Slam in Madison, Wisconsin, teaches the occasional social policy class at the University of Wisconsin and works at the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. She is the daughter of Alan and Sandra Rubin of Pittsfield.
