Hanna's body, mind and heart have roamed courageously, and so does her writing. Her many forms of writing—essays, stories, lists, scenes—are needed to hold the bursting force of life and inquiry she contains. Through the lens of her experience we are invited to consider questions of belonging, becoming, suffering and joy across all scales from the history of nations to the song of a single bird.
Memoir as a collage of scenes, moments, histories and reflections, from apartheid South Africa to a Pittsburgh ALS clinic. Together they make a grand invitation to readers—to deepen our relationships and expand our embrace of life’s griefs and joys.
Working title, not the final cover
