Dunmore native Tony Amico will release a new book this month titled Painting Life With Words of Encouragement.

In his debut work, Amico takes the reader on a thought-provoking journey with his musings on self-discovery and the meaning of life. He invites you to follow along as he delves into his inner-turmoil on the darkest of days, and then pulls you into a place of hope and inspiration as he colors your world with words of encouragement.

“I hope to use the book as a vehicle to reach out to others. Focusing primarily on those who have contemplated suicide and those who have been affected by a tragic death of a loved one,” Amico says.

“I’m not a therapist and have nothing but my gift, instinct and experience to use to a positive end. ”

Print copies of Painting Life With Words of Encouragement will available for purchase online starting September 17.

Books will also be made available at a book signing being planned for later this month. Details for the signing will be posted to Tony Amico’s Facebook page and website — tonyamicoauthor.com

Amico was born and raised in Dunmore. He now resides in the neighboring borough of Throop with his wife, Valerie, and their Great Dane, Angel.
