Tom Ryan, a hardened newspaperman from Newburyport, MA, found himself the proud parent of a miniature schnauzer he named Atticus M. Finch, after the lawyer hero of “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Soon this overweight, out-of-shape writer was climbing the 44 peaks of the White Mountains twice, in summer and winter, raising money for charities and bonding with this pooch who had stolen his heart.
Tom has captured the joy of his adventures with his tiny friend in a delightful new book “Following Atticus” that just hit the book- store shelves. He spoke recently at the New Haven Free Public Library and will soon talk at R.J. Julia’s in Madison, CT. Come hear his inspiring story of unconditional love.
