Brazos Bookstore gladly welcomes actress Amy Yasbeck for an in-store appearance on Tuesday, December 7, 2010, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM where she will discuss and sign her book, With Love and Laughter, John Ritter.

With Love and Laughter is actress Amy Yasbeck's most enduring memory of the life she shared with her husband, John Ritter. He was one of America's most popular and beloved film and television actors. We welcomed him into our homes weekly with his Emmy Award–winning portrayal of Jack Tripper on Three's Company and his hit comedy 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.

On September 11, 2003, John Ritter's death from an undiagnosed aortic dissection, at the age of fifty-four, shocked and saddened not only his family and friends but also his millions of fans around the world.

In this powerful memoir Amy Yasbeck shares her deeply personal and ultimately hopeful journey of surviving the devastating loss of her husband. Yasbeck looks back with anecdotes and memories from both John's life and her own. Here are the unforgettable times she shared with a man who was adored for finding humor in everyday encounters, never failing to energize and entertain everyone around him. His philosophy was summed up by his favorite autograph for his fans, With Love and Laughter, John Ritter.

Amy Yasbeck's powerful story reminds us that love never dies . . . and the laughter doesn't have to end.
