📚✨ MEET A HOMETOWN AUTHOR AT CHAPTER 40! ✨📚

We’re excited to welcome Tessi (Etzold) Ross, a Jamestown hometown native and author, to Chapter 40 Bookshop for a special author event and book signing!

Tessi, a JHS Class of ’99 and UJ Class of ’03 graduate, is a registered nurse, holistic living coach, consultant, speaker, writer, and advocate. Her first book, Unexpected Wholeness: Becoming Whole Through Chronic Illness, Faith and Curiosity, shares her personal journey after a Long COVID diagnosis brought her career to an unexpected halt and set her on a new path toward healing, wholeness, and a new kind of calling.

This book speaks to the millions living with invisible illness, as well as anyone who wants to better understand what others may be experiencing behind the scenes.

📖 Saturday, October 10
⏰ 9:00–9:30 AM
📍 Chapter 40 Bookshop, Jamestown

The event is FREE to attend, and Tessi will be available to meet readers and sign copies of her book. Limited books will be available for purchase at the event.

Come out, meet a fellow Jamestown native, hear her story, and support a local author on the release of her very first book! ❤️📚

We’d love to see you there!
