Retired Weatherman Kevin Mannix and his wife Linda Rota speaking about their book Weathering Shame

Tuesday, Sept. 6 @ 6:30pm 

Weathering Shame, a personal journey of shame and stigma, is an autobiography penned by two well respected professionals, weatherman Kevin Mannix and social worker wife Linda Rota, written about their individual experiences with shame and stigma throughout their childhood and adult lives. In this book the authors share their life experiences, lessons, struggles and feelings of shame and the stigma that results from growing up exposed to alcoholism, severe depression and suicide. In Weathering Shame the authors' goal is for readers to benefit from their struggles, raise awareness and to be inspired and encouraged by their personal stories to embark on their own journey of self discovery, recovery or awareness. Kevin and Linda's mission is to lead society farther down a path of reducing shame and stigma. Books will be available for sale for $21 with payment by cash or check, and the authors will be glad to sign your copy. The event is free and open to the public.
