SUMMARY:Book Signing and Reading\, Buddah Jams Yoga Studio
DESCRIPTION:When a stroke leaves Jenn comatose and clinging to life just days before her thirty-first birthday\, she and her family face an overwhelming and painful journey. As they struggle to grasp what happened\, to move forward and heal\, they discover an unexpected gift: how to be present in times of uncertainty while holding onto hope and the power of family and community to sustain them through these challenging times.\nStructured as diary entries\, this poignant memoir shares memories from each family member as they walk together through this profoundly life-changing event\, grapple with grief\, and learn to look for silver linings: gratitude\, intentional time together\, and the closeness of family and friends to help them heal. Even before her stroke these values were ingrained in Jenn. She was a motivational speaker on wellness and self-care\, created her own content\, and taught a six-week course called “Lead Your Life.”\nCurrently\, she and her family share a very personal and intimate time of their lives in the hope that those who are struggling with similar experiences of loss and change will find connection\, solace\, and the courage to overcome even the greatest challenges.

SUMMARY:Reader' Favorite Book Review
DESCRIPTION:Reviewed by Essien Asian for Readers’ Favorite \nJenn experienced severe intracranial hemorrhage three days before her 31st birthday. Concerned family members rushed her to the North Shore University Hospital\, where they kept vigil for any sign of good news regarding the young woman. Jenn survived the arduous and protracted experience\, punctuated by difficult days when it appeared that the medical staff’s best efforts would be insufficient. In The Face Of Catastrophe is the heartwarming account by Jennifer Rose Goldman and Caryn Meg Hirschleifer of how her loved ones came together to bring this young woman back from the brink. \nJennifer Rose Goldman and Caryn Meg Hirschleifer engage in a detailed retelling of a harrowing experience with In The Face Of Catastrophe. They go above and beyond to ensure they record every moment of the days covering Jenn’s worst hours. Like the detailed explanations of Jenn’s procedures\, they are straightforward\, conveying the emotional rollercoaster they underwent. Adding hospital notes that show Jenn’s development enhances the original storytelling technique\, in which significant family members and friends share firsthand accounts of their experiences to create a distinctive portrait of this extraordinarily fortunate woman. Goldman and Hirschleifer strike a balance between serious events\, like Jenn’s battles with depression\, and humorous ones\, like the hilarious psychic episode. It is impossible to overstate the significance of the affirmations Jenn would not stop saying because they demonstrate that healing must first come from within. Goldman and Hirschleifer deserve plaudits for this one-of-a-kind offering that will be a powerful inspiration to those who struggle with health crises without assistance.
