“Thank You, Mom.” Saratoga DJ Publishes Book Paying Tribute to his Mother – Event May 6
“Thank You, Mom,” by Jerry Crouth.
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Jerry Crouth, Saratoga Lake FM DJ, will presents his new book, “Thank You, Mom: My Life’s Stories Growing Up in the Forties,” at the Saratoga Senior Center May 6.
The book pays tribute to Crouth’s mother, who brought up young Jerry and his five siblings, after his father was permanently institutionalized in Marcy Mental Hospital, one month before Jerry’s birth.
“We didn’t just survive,” Crouth said. “We had very happy formative years living together. It was all because of our mother.”
The book acts as a testament to the strength the family found in each other, and includes memoirs written by the author’s mother.
Crouth will provide a book overview at the event at the Saratoga Senior Center, which takes place 10 a.m. Tuesday. The event, free and open to the public, will include an author signing as well as the 244-page book available for purchase. Those unable to attend may learn more about the book at: store.bookbaby.com/book/thank-you-mom and on Amazon.com
