The third volume of the Just Lassen to Me! series brings more twists, turns, and tumult in Harvy Simkovits' relationship with his finagling entrepreneurial father and afflicted immigrant family. New players will come onto the scene who try to help heal the family and quiet the commotion. Inroads are fashioned, but will their efforts provide success and security for the Simkovits clan? Will Johnny clean up his ways, becoming an upstanding husband, father, and businessman? Or will the family suffer more losses through Johnny’s unashamed shenanigans, hurtful ways, and blatant trickery? I think you might guess the answer.

Is it possible to admire a man’s accomplishments but abhor what he stands for, to seek his blessing but spurn his legacy? What if that man is your father?Twelve years in the making, Harvy Simkovits’s memoir Just Lassen to Me! is a true, enthralling family and family business tale. WWII survivor, escapee from Soviet communism, and Canadian immigrant, Johnny Simkovits, amassed a fortune through hard work, gutsy moves, and devious means. Harvy’s Jewish mother, Anna, hid in Budapest during the war using false Christian papers and had her own unsettling stories of family survival and strife. Their son, Harvy, enticed to follow in his father’s finagling footsteps, works to reconcile, repudiate, and rectify his mom’s painful burdens and dad's dubious legacy. Filled with honest, humor, and humility, this is a son’s story of surviving his turbulent family and survivor father.
