But, sometimes real life is even better than a Hollywood ending.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eIf You Would Have Told Me,\u003c\/i\u003e Stamos looks back on an extraordinary life lived with tremendous joy, and gratefulness – not to mention great hair – that is sure to delight his legion of fans, and make new converts of the rest of us.

John introduces us to the man behind that winning smile, telling us hilarious, and poignant stories on his road to finding a family of his own in his midlife, and the deep well of gratefulness that comes with a life well-lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf You Would Have Told Me\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiration of a memoir, told with all the candor, grace and charm that only John can provide.
