Somebody Ought To Be Crying

Part memoir, part mayhem, all heart. Somebody Ought to Be Crying isn't your typical memoir-it's a rollicking ride through a life that's equal parts outrageous, heartfelt, and utterly unique. In more than 80 vignettes, award-winning author J.B. Hogan invites you to sit down, grab a drink (you'll need it), and explore a personal history written with humor, heart, and just a touch of chaos. From laugh-out-loud misadventures to poignant moments of self-reflection, this memoir is proof that every life-yours included-is worth recording. Think of it as the guidebook you never knew you needed for writing your own story. The author has spent years encouraging others to capture their histories because, as he'll tell you, "Someone, someday, will want to know who you were, what you did, and how in the world you managed to pull it all off." This is his version of that advice, turned inward-and upside down. Serious when it needs to be, irreverent the rest of the time, Somebody Ought to Be Crying, is a celebration of the messy, unpredictable, and glorious business of living. Whether it's Grandma So-and-So, Uncle What's-His-Name, or just plain old you, everyone has a story worth telling. So grab a chair, settle in, and get ready for a memoir that might just make you laugh, cry, or say, "Wait, what?"
