From Rowan University concerning St. Thomas’ member Heather Lanier: Join us on Thursday, 22 October, at 6.30pm on Facebook LIVE for a book launch reading for Raising a Rare Girl, award-winning writer Heather Lanier’s memoir about raising a child with a rare syndrome, defying the tyranny of normal, and embracing parenthood as a spiritual practice that breaks us open in the best of ways. Published this summer by Penguin Press, Heather’s memoir is a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice and has been featured in the New York Times, The Atlantic, People Magazine, and more.
