Some people spend their lives trying to outrun the past. Others learn how to live with it.
In Now Go Make Lemonade, Nicholas Crosson shares the story of growing up in a home shaped by alcoholism, finding freedom through music and skating, navigating love and loss, and learning what it means to become a father, a friend, and a man who no longer wants to be defined only by what he can carry.
Told through memory, reflection, and ordinary moments that became important over time, this memoir explores how childhood follows us long after we leave home. It looks at the ways early experiences shape how we love, communicate, explain ourselves, protect ourselves, and search for belonging.
From roller rinks and DJ booths to marriage, heartbreak, fatherhood, friendship, and personal growth, Crosson traces the lessons hidden inside the life he has lived and the choices he made after things did not unfold the way he hoped.
At its heart, Now Go Make Lemonade is a story about healing. Not the dramatic kind that happens all at once, but the kind that comes slowly, through songs, memories, relationships, hard truths, and the decision to keep becoming a better version of yourself.
Honest, thoughtful, and personal, this memoir speaks to anyone who has struggled with family wounds, searched for belonging, carried more than his share, or wondered how to turn life's disappointments into something meaningful.
Because the goal is not to avoid the lemons.
It is deciding what you will make from them.
