Jason B. Rosenthal is the author of “My Wife Said You May Want to Marry Me: A Memoir.” In March of 2017, beloved author Amy Krouse Rosenthal published an essay about her love for her husband Jason in the New York Times Modern Love column. Amy had been fighting late stage, aggressive ovarian cancer and ultimately died two weeks later, after the piece had gone viral and touched millions of readers. Jason’s memoir is his response to Amy’s death, and to their lives together as partners, parents, and explorers.
Jason is the best selling author of "Dear Boy," co-written by his daughter, Paris Rosenthal. He is the board chair of the Amy Krouse Rosenthal Foundation, which supports both childhood literacy and research in early detection of ovarian cancer. A lawyer, public speaker and devoted father of three, he is passionate about helping others to fill and expand their blank spaces, and to continue the intention and legacy of Amy’s life’s work.
Amy was a MILK, and Jason is the first, and probably only, honorary non-MILK guest. Follow Jason @jasonbrosenthal and @akrfoundation.
