BREATH TAKING with Author Jessica Fein

from Record Scratch with Kara

Jessica "Jessie" Fein's book, BREATH TAKING: A MEMOIR OF FAMILY, DREAMS, AND BROKEN GENES, is being praised everywhere, as it should. My favorite, and most accurate synopsis, is: "A masterclass on how to be a person." — Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of MY SALINGER YEAR. The hardest thing to experience is the loss of a child. Jessie shares her and her husband's fertility journey, adoption, and subsequent advocacy on behalf of one of their beautiful children, Dahlia, as Dahlia succumbs to MERRF syndrome (myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers), a rare genetic disorder.  JESSICA FEIN Website - https://www.jessicafeinstories.com/ Podcast - I Don't Know How You Do It - https://www.jessicafeinstories.com/podcast Instagram - @feinjessica  Substack - https://feinbyme.substack.com/ KARA KAVENSKY Website - https://karakavensky.com/ @karakavensky on Substack | FB | IG | X | LinkedIn | Threads | TikTok Receive updates on Kara's new memoir release, FINDING JOY, here.
