A Pure Michigan Story: Author Meet and Greet July Schedule

Meet Michigan author, Joel Walkowski, and hear about his book, "Honolulu Blues: How Loving A Losing Football Team Created A Winning Man

No one could explain Joel Walkowski's life pathway better than he can! So, here are the words of the author of "Honolulu Blues: How Loving A Losing Football Team Created A Winning Man."

"I spent three decades watching the Detroit Lions lose and accepted that it changed me in a profound way. I wrote a book about the team and my father, juxtaposing how the experience of loving a team was similar to a special needs father. Disappointment is built into the foundation. How do we keep showing up?" Come and hear Joel tell how he did it.

Joel will be making several appearances in Michigan in July in addition to more here and in other cities around the country, following the release party of his book on July 14th,through September. Check out the scheduled Author Meet and Greets and see more on his website. He is also appearing on radio , TV, and podcasts where the book is receiving high acclaim. See more details on the flyer.
