SUMMARY:"Held Together: A Shared Memoir of Motherhood\, Medicine\, and Impe
 rfect Love" with Rebecca N. Thompson\, MD
DESCRIPTION:In her debut book\, the renowned primary care physician offers 
 a deeply moving narrative that celebrates the resilience of women as they 
 navigate the diverse and complex journeys of building and sustaining famil
 ies. Dr. Thompson intertwines her personal story of life-threatening pregn
 ancy complications with the stories of twenty-one of her patients\, friend
 s\, and medical colleagues. Together\, they explore the complexities of mo
 therhood\, family dynamics\, and health and healing\, ultimately finding s
 trength in imperfection. Through profoundly honest and emotionally raw acc
 ounts\, "Held Together" creates a space for connection\, delivering comfor
 t and awareness to anyone touched by their own or others’ challenges in 
 parenthood and family relationships. At its heart\, "Held Together" aims t
 o expand the understanding of motherhood’s true diversity\, while advoca
 ting for empathy\, inclusion\, and improved support for all women and fami
 lies.\nDr. Thompson will be joined in conversation by Kelly Burke\, a fell
 ow Oregonian and her former patient. Kelly’s deeply felt story touches o
 n themes of navigating a chronic autoimmune disorder that threatens her pe
 rsonal and professional identities\, talking to children about serious ill
 ness and death\, and recognizing the ways that physical limitations and un
 derstandings of self shape the way we parent.
