WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU PEARS
In 2017, writer director producer and super mom Jeannie's life came to a crashing halt when she was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor. The mother of 5 kids, 6 if you include her husband, could only think "I might die," as she sat in the ER in star-covered sweats too whimsical for the seriousness of the situation.
​
Thankfully, Jeannie and her family were able to survive this time of crisis, and now she's ready to share her miraculous story: how she had the brutal conversation with her children, her parents, and close friends; how she came to terms with feeling powerless with the difficult recovery of being bedridden and not eating for a month; how she started to realize the importance of her relationships; and ultimately, to learn, and relearn to be more present in life
.
With sincerity and hilarity, Jeannie shares her insights during this trying time, emphasizing the importance of family, faith and humor.
FOOD: A LOVE STORY
Jim Gaffigan takes on his favorite topic: food. Read Jim’s insights such as: why he believes coconut water was invented to get people to stop drinking coconut water, why pretzel bread is #3 on his most important inventions of humankind (behind the wheel and the computer), and the answer to the age-old question "which animal is more delicious: the pig, the cow, or the bacon cheeseburger?"
DAD IS FAT
In Dad Is Fat, comedian Jim Gaffigan hilariously chronicles the chaos of raising five kids in a two-bedroom New York City apartment while admitting he’s in way over his head. With his trademark wit and self-deprecating honesty, Gaffigan shares stories of sleepless nights, endless diapers, and the baffling rituals of modern parenthood. Blending laugh-out-loud humor with heartfelt reflections, he reveals the joys and absurdities of family life, proving that even in the madness, love—and a good sense of humor—make it all worthwhile.
