Author Kristina Amelong and the cover of "What My Brother Knew."

Kristina Amelong’s brave memoir, What My Brother Knew, details the death of her brother, Jay Amelong, when he was just 13. It’s a moving look at spirituality, grief and loss that favors a more clear-eyed attitude toward death than modern Americans usually have. Amelong will discuss and read from the book at this launch celebration.

media release: On May 27, 1981, on the north side of Madison, Jay Amelong (13) was killed by a car while riding his bike, an accident he had predicted over a year in advance, down to the color of the car that hit him. 44 years later, Jay’s sister Kristina will publish a memoir, What My Brother Knew, which charts her life path from loss and abuse to healing and spiritual awakening, demonstrating the transformative power of facing death head-on and the incredible human ability to do so. Join Kristina for the launch of her memoir, including a reading, signing, and discussion.
