Known nationally and internationally as the woman who lived in one of the world's smallest apartments, Felice Cohen is the grandchild of two Holocaust survivors and the author of the award-winning book "What Papa Told Me," a memoir about her grandfather's life before, during and after the war. Her second book, "90 Lessons for Living Large in 90 Square Feet (...or more)", is based on the video of her 90-square-foot Manhattan studio that went viral with tens of millions of views on YouTube.com, gaining media attention around the globe, including the U.S., Australia, Germany, Canada, Ireland and South Korea. What enabled Felice to "live large" in that tiny studio is that she's been a professional organizer for over 25 years.

Felice's newest bo Known nationally and internationally as the woman who lived in one of the world's smallest apartments, Felice Cohen is the grandchild of two Holocaust survivors and the author of the award-winning book "What Papa Told Me," a memoir about her grandfather's life before, during and after the war. Her second book, "90 Lessons for Living Large in 90 Square Feet (...or more)", is based on the video of her 90-square-foot Manhattan studio that went viral with tens of millions of views on YouTube.com, gaining media attention around the globe, including the U.S., Australia, Germany, Canada, Ireland and South Korea. What enabled Felice to "live large" in that tiny studio is that she's been a professional organizer for over 25 years.

Felice's newest book, "Half In: A Coming-of-Age Memoir of Forbidden Love" is about a secret, lesbian, age-gap love affair she had when she was 23 with her boss, a 57-year-old woman who had a long-term partner. Felice kept it a secret for three decades. In this candid memoir, Felice chronicles the happiness and heartbreak of an age-gap love affair while struggling to figure out the direction of her future.

"What Papa Told Me" was endorsed by Elie Wiesel and Yad Vashem, has sold over 40,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into Polish. It won three honorable mention book awards, is taught in US schools' Holocaust curriculum and is in several Holocaust Museums in the US, Poland and the UK. Felice has spoken to tens of thousands of students and adults across the country and is featured in two documentaries focusing on grandchildren of survivors, and has a chapter in the anthology "In the Shadows of Memory: The Holocaust and the Third Generation," written by grandchildren of survivors.

Felice also writes a series of illustrated books called The Fancy Tales, which are modern day New York City versions of the classic fairy tales we grew up with, yet they contain a wholesomely presented and slightly sophisticated gay twist. She writes these under the pen name Weecee. The first three in the series include: She'safella, Peter Pan Zee and Jack and the Bad Stock.

[image error]In 1981, I went to Camp Milbrook, the Larry Bird sleepaway basketball camp in Massachusetts for a month. I loved basketball. I loved Larry Bird. I hated the camp. The kids were mean, we mostly did gymnastics, and we only got to meet Larry once.

One day, more than halfway into my stay, I was walking alone, back to my barrack, when I saw what looked like the front of my dad’s car. I’d re
