A Zibby Summer Reads pick! Jessica Fein, BREATH TAKING: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes

Zibby chats with author Jessica Fein about her astonishing, heartrending, vulnerable new book, BREATH TAKING: A Memoir of Family, Dreams, and Broken Genes. Jessica describes her lengthy infertility journey, her and her husband’s unconventional journey to parenthood through international adoption, their three children from Guatemala, and their middle daughter Dalia’s diagnosis with an ultra-rare degenerative disease. She shares what it was like to turn her house into an ICU and care for Dalia 24/7 until she passed away at the age of 17—and how it impacted her marriage and other children. Ultimately, she reflects on the role of writing as a therapeutic outlet.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3LyD8ouShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!
