Virtual Author Talk: The Beauty in Breaking with Dr. Michele Harper

Michele Harper is a female African American emergency room physician in an overwhelmingly male and white profession. Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she went to Harvard and then to medical school. As Harper learned to become an effective ER doctor in a new city, Philadelphia, as a newly single woman, she understood that each of us is broken—physically and emotionally. How we recognize those breaks, how we try to mend them, and where we go from there are all crucial parts of the healing process. This author talk with Michele Harper will cover many of the lessons she’s learned on her inspiring personal journey and the success of her New York Times bestselling memoir, The Beauty in Breaking.  Learn more and register here to receive the access link.
