Book Talk with Jessica Fein - Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes

This event was a thought-provoking discussion with Jessica Fein, author of Breath Taking: A Memoir of Family, Dreams and Broken Genes. This poignant memoir takes readers on a journey through the roller coaster of complex parenting, exploring themes of love, resilience, and the profound impact of a rare degenerative disease on one family’s existence.

This event explored:

• How we learn to live in the present when the future can’t be fixed
• The isolation that comes when we’re thrust into rare parenting and the power of finding our community
• How we can balance the duality of being a relentless advocate while also providing a calm and supportive presence for our children
• The impact on siblings and what the author would do differently today
• The meaning of ambiguous grief and how naming it allows us to integrate the powerful emotions we feel
• The realization that joy and sorrow can live together

This memoir is not just a narrative of personal tragedy but a testament to the strength of the human spirit in the face of life’s most challenging circumstances.
