In the realm of non-fiction, Joe delves into deeply emotional territories with a poignant memoir titled "Grief, Signs, The After Life, and If You Believe, It Is." Drawing inspiration from real-life events, this memoir chronicles Joe's journey of guiding his son through the wonder bread years to adulthood—a narrative filled with the tapestry of growing pains, laughter, and culminating in the afterlife.
