Memoir, at its best, can inspire its readers, and actor Jeremy Renner, known for The Hurt Locker, Avengers, and Wind River, has written one that promises a lively discussion for the San Gabriel Library Adult Book Club (ages 18+) on Wednesday, April 15, at 3:00 pm.

Beyond Renner’s impressive acting résumé, he spent several years fighting his way back to health and work after a January 1, 2023 snowplow accident that broke more than 38 bones, collapsed his lung, pierced his liver, and fractured multiple ribs.
The organizers write:
“In this debut memoir, two-time Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner writes in blistering detail about his snowplow accident and the aftermath. This retelling is not merely a gruesome account of what happened to him; it’s a call to action and a forged companionship between reader and author as Jeremy recounts his recovery journey and reflects on the impact of his suffering.
Ultimately, Jeremy’s memoir is a testament to the human spirit and its capacity to endure, evolve, and find purpose in the face of unimaginable adversity. His writing captures the essence of profound transformation, exploring the delicate interplay between vulnerability and strength, despair and hope, redemption and renewal.”
Copies of the book are available at the Information Desk.
