Magee to discuss new book at upcoming event

Published 9:00 am Tuesday, September 10, 2024

David Magee, author of “Dear William,” will be at Off Square Books next week to discuss his newest memoir, “A Little Crazy.”

He will be in conversation with his sister and fellow memoirist Ruthie Lindsey at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 18.

“A Little Crazy,” is a call to action to embrace differences and create a life unbound by stigma and stereotypes, leading to redeeming purpose and joy. Adopted into a family that never quite fit, Magee battled loneliness and a lack of self-esteem as a teen. These feelings followed and paralyzed him into adulthood until a trusted voice within revealed an unusual—if not a little bit crazy—path forward.
