John J. Tivenan, ’72, is the author of “Letting Color In: A Memoir of Eroding Faith & Expanding Gratitude” published by Caritas and available exclusively on Amazon.
Abandoning chronology as a tool for telling his stories, Tivenan punctuates instances of a life review, which gave his odyssey pauses for reflection. On what was once taken for granted, and on what seemed unalterable elements of his identity, Tivenan concludes that, like everything else in life, they were all transitory.
Despite the implosion of what was considered sure and true, Tivenan finds hope in the significant tallies of loss, humor in multiple derailments, and reasons for expanding gratitude in examining his unexpected trajectory.
