Join us at the University Club on February 4th as we hear from Mark Nepper, the author of Glory Days in the Rear View Mirror

We all remember that person from high school. You know, the person who seemed to glide through every aspect of those years -- academics, athletics, clubs, social interactions. They were popular and successful but more significantly likeable. Everyone expected they would do the same after high school. Life, though, has a way of interfering with our plans and expectations. One disappointment can lead to a string of disappointments and failures until every day becomes a struggle. Those circumstances take Robb Cesario from the heights of high school glory to midlife, where a quagmire of quicksand threatens to pull him under. Desperately struggling to maintain family connections amid tragedy and sadness, Robb returns to his roots. He tries to find his way back to the life he and everyone else imagined for him.

Mark Nepper is a former award-winning newspaper reporter and state and nationally honored high school English teacher. He spent much of his life helping students find ways to tell their stories. He continues mentoring writing teachers in his role as co-director of the Greater Madison Writing Project. He also created and directs Writing Your Life workshops with senior citizens to help them tell their stories. He decided he should start telling his own stories and has written his debut novel, Glory Days in the Review: A Story of Love, Redemption and Hope. He is an avid bicyclist and wood carver and is exploring the joys and frustrations of water color painting. Mark lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
