Join Anderson’s Bookshop for an in-person signing with local author and CEO of Marquette Companies Nick Ryan to celebrate the release of his memoir, From Jackass to Joy, on Tuesday, July 26th at 7 pm CT. Half of the book sale proceeds will benefit the West Suburban Food Pantry!
This event will be held in our Naperville store, and pre-registration is required as space is limited.
More about FROM JACKASS TO JOY:
What do we really know as young marrieds? When Nick Ryan married Linda, his high school sweetheart, they were just beginning to make their way in the world. Add to the mix vastly different families of origin, fundamentally different personalities, and ill-formed visions of the life they each desired…what could go wrong?
This book shares Nick’s journey through discovering what he calls the art and science of love, marriage, and blending family. His stories may make you laugh, they may make you cry, you may see yourself and the ones you love in them. In the end, Nick lays out the path he took to:
• Understand and own the mistakes he made
• Realize the importance of patience to start fresh again… and again
• Learn to communicate clearly in relationships
• Develop trust and respect for people who truly matter
• Understand and honor compatibility
• Create an individual, mutual, and family vision
These are the deep realizations and specific actions Nick took that brought his life from a place of loss and despair to one of great love, a warm and devoted blended family, and abundance that most of us only dream about.
