LSC Author Talk with Dr. Michele Harper, The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir

Dr. Michele Harper, The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir, August 22nd 

Join us for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Michele Harper as she highlights the lessons learned on her inspiring personal journey of discovery and self-reflection as written in her New York Times Best Selling memoir, The Beauty in Breaking. 

The Beauty in Breaking tells the story of Dr. Harper, a female African American ER physician in an overwhelmingly male and white profession. Brought up in Washington, D.C., in a complicated family, she attended Harvard, where she met her husband. They stayed together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia when he told her he couldn't move with her. Harper's marriage at an end began her new life in a new city, in a new job, as a newly single woman.

The Beauty in Breaking speaks about how 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 as all equally crucial parts of the healing process. You are invited to a riveting and powerful conversation of self-healing with Q&A to follow!
