Many of you are familiar with the medical odyssey that Jenny Q has been on these past 4 years: sepsis, near death, a coma, six months in the ICU, and over 50 surgeries. She lost both her legs, five fingers, and precious time with her beloved daughter and her new sweetheart. She returned home to a long struggle, regaining health and rebuilding her life.
She asked friends and family for their stories about how this event, which rocked our community, touched them personally. Jenny has collaged these stories around her own moving, empowering and revealing musings. The result is a book — Held Together — filled with poems, prose and essays of how a village came together, suffered together, celebrated together, and fell in love together. The book is written, and promotional materials are in place.
