THE ULTIMATE DEFEAT –
April 7, 2022 – The newly published book, “We Got This, Kids,” is Andy’s story told in his own words. It provides his innermost thoughts about his life choices, his alcoholism, his sobriety, all told in real time. Andy was excited about completing this project and hoped that if it helped only one person it was well worth his efforts. At the time of his death, the memoir was partially finished. Close with his brother and sister, he sent them his journal entries as he wrote them. “He had been sending his real writing to us in real time. I loved how he tied his intelligence and humor in his writing as he did in living his life,” said his sister Amy Marjanick Law. “It struck me, after I took a long hard look at his work, this material potentially will help people. I had been encouraging him to write it, after he passed, I wanted to move this project forward.”
Amy Law is neither author nor editor. She is a registered nurse by trade. She knew she was going to need some professional help to complete Andy’s work. A friend recommended that she meet with New Hampshire author and editor, Jeff Deck. Over the course of the next two years, punctuated by the pandemic, they worked together virtually on the book.
