ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free virtual book talk by author Eric Otis Simmons on Thursday, August 27 at 7:00 PM. The Georgia resident and Arkansas native will discuss his memoir, “Not Far from the Tree”. How does a child raised by a single parent African American Mother go on to graduate in the Top 10 percent of his college class, walk on and play college basketball, become President of his IBM sales training class, close sales of a one half million, 1 million, and 25 million dollars in Paris, Brussels, and Hong Kong and self publish a Best Seller book, you ask? Fueled by his Mom’s mantra that he could do anything if he put his mind to it, Eric Otis Simmons went on to accomplish all of the above and more. In “Not Far From The Tree”, Simmons’ memoir, he shares his life story through a series of smaller stories that range from shocking to calamitous to sorrowful to triumphing. Eric and his wife have three adult children and reside in metro Atlanta, Georgia.
