Please join Emmy award winning actor and author, Joanne Vannicola, at L’Euguelionne bookstore on Aug. 9th, where they will read from their newly released memoir, All We Knew But Couldn’t Say. There will be wine, food, conversations and more.

Joanne Vannicola grew up in a violent home with a physically abusive father and a mother who had no sexual boundaries.
Joanne relates her journey from child performer to Emmy Award–winning actor, from hiding in the closet to embracing her own sexuality, from conflicted daughter and sibling to independent woman. All We Knew But Couldn’t Say is a testament to survival, love, and the belief that it is possible to love the broken, and to love fully, even with a broken heart.
Reviews:
-A story fit for this time and the landscape of our culture. Incredibly raw, moving, and honest. Joanne has survived so much and come out triumphant. A book worth reading. (Denys Arcand, Oscar-winning filmmaker)

-Joanne Vannicola weaves a compelling narrative about hardship, survival, and resilience that reminds all of us about the enduring importance of forgiveness, family acceptance, and love. (Sarah Kate Ellis, President & CEO, GLAAD)
