From the Paper:

"The hardships of Miller's life started very early as the Great Depression hit his family hard. Miller lived a comfortable middle-class life until age fourteen. At this age, his father's garment business failed. The loss of the business put a great strain on the family. The depression alerted a young Miller that life was often a struggle against powerful forces outside of the family. He saw how his father's fate was shared on all sides by those who had blind faith in the so-called American Dream. "
