Book Club: 'The Art of Reassembly: A Memoir of Early Mother Loss & Aftergrief'

Join us online with Author Peg Conway as we discuss her book The Art of Reassembly: A Memoir of Early Mother Loss & Aftergrief.

Telling our stories is key to the grieving process. Motherless daughter Peg Conway had to dig deep over many years to first feel her loss and then break silence, cultivate self-compassion, and reconnect with her mom’s memory to reassemble hers, a journey that is the focus of her recent memoir. In this virtual program, Peg will offer an opening meditation, present brief remarks, lead discussion of her book, and answer questions. All live attendees will receive a signed bookplate, and a recording will be available. This gathering is free and open to adult motherless daughters (ages 19+).
