Events

Linda Perillo will be at Dear Reader Books & Stationery on Saturday, December 6th to discuss and sign copies of her new memoir, Your Payment Method Has Been Declined.

Your Payment Method Has Been Declined begins with what Linda feels is the genesis of everything in her life…motherhood and the birth of her first son, Devin, in 1995. At the time, her mother was dying from breast cancer and would live only five weeks after his birth. It was a marker for “how the hell am I going to do this without mommy,” to “how the hell did I do this without mommy and daddy…” eight kids later. No topic is off-topic for this from the soul, gut-wrenching purge about the grief encompassing divorce, the loss of her parents, her brother, and her freedom through the shackles of a trust left by her father, the trustees, and the shame and humiliation that took its toll. Oh, and the kidney lost through cancer and the detached Achilles that grounded her for almost a year. Linda brings humor and honesty to even the most grim of circumstances and relies on her Catholic faith and a lot of saints to heal her. Empathy… the gift that was never expected and the reasons for life horrors that shroud themselves in wolf’s clothing are really a gift from the Magi years later. Aren’t you Mario Perillo’s daughter? Yes, I am.

Join us on Saturday, December 6th from 1-3pm to celebrate the release of Linda Perillo's memoir! See you there, readers!
