My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me: A Memoir
Author of My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me: A Memoir, will kick-off the series to discuss his recovery from the pain and trauma from the loss of his wife Amy to ovarian cancer. Prior to her death, Amy Krouse Rosenthal penned a column in The New York Times entitled You May Want to Marry My Husband, that went viral, reaching millions worldwide. Rosenthal’s book is his response to Amy’s piece and chronicles his journey processing grief and finding the path to hope and joy amongst the pain.
The lecture is a gift, offered at no cost to the community, through the generosity of Mimi Cohen and Saul Cohen, of blessed memory. The series this year is co-sponsored by the United Jewish Federation of Greater Stamford, New Canaan and Darien and Federation for Jewish Philanthropy of Upper Fairfield County and in partnership with Jewish Book Council.
