About The Love We Knew: A True Story Of Love, Loss, And
Product Description A secret heartbreak, a triumphant love story How can a young couple make it through the anguish of being separated by their parents and the trauma of a forced adoption? In April 1961, the bottom fell out for high school football hero John Gammino and his girlfriend, Pat. The seventeen-year-olds had fallen in love in the 1950s and ‘60s amid the thrill of spin-the-bottle, parking, weekend dance parties, and undefeated seasons. But with the stunning news of their teen pregnancy, everything changed. “Naked and refreshingly honest, openly dealing with the daily trials of personal life and the tumultuous professional times following divestiture.” – Dr. Ronald O. Brown, Ronald O. Brown Consulting Fifty years later, Gammino looks back on the loss – and reveals what happened to the couple and their baby. You’ll find out: ◆ The varied reactions of biological and adoptive family members after adoption ◆ The Eureka moment that solved an impossible family/career dilemma ◆ The single best piece of business advice to follow before starting a consulting company ◆ The most helpful medical advice for coping with a terminal illness Through devastating challenges, Gammino prevails with a true story about an incredible reunion that will inspire you to face life with unconditional love and lasting resilience. “A heartwarming story about the ups and downs of life and a testament to one couple's hard work, sacrifices, and support.” – Wayne Pesaresi, former President of Sheridan Printing Co. Inc, current Vice President of Sheridan Communications Inc. “With poignant circumstances and intriguing coincidences, hope springs eternal in this noteworthy journey of provocative challenges that ultimately lead to inspirational life-choices.” – Amy Dyson, Art Historian-Etiologist Review "A heartwarming story about the ups and downs of life, including love and marriage, adoption and reuniting, many business ventures, and raising three teenage siblings after a parent's death. The Love We Knew is a testament to success based on one couple's hard work, sacrifices, and support. Frank Sinatra's "'My Way' could have been written for John Gammino, excluding "the end is near," because it surely isn't not!" - Wayne Pesaresi, former President of Sheridan Printing Co. Inc, current Vice President of Sheridan Communications Inc. "An autobiographical love story, naked and refreshingly honest, relating the love within a family's love while openly dealing with the daily trials of personal life and the tumultuous professional times following divestiture." - Dr. Ronald O. Brown, Ronald O. Brown Consulting "A warmly illuminated 63-year love story interwoven with poignant circumstances and intriguing coincidences. Hope springs eternal in this noteworthy journey of provocative challenges that ultimately lead to inspirational life choices. A sagacious testimony to love and the resilience it fosters." - Amy Dyson, Art Historian-Etiologist
