Breath Taking

" ""Astonishing...one of the most moving memoirs I've read.""  --Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Is This Tomorrow and Pictures of You “An epic story of love and resilience.”   --Kirkland Hamill, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Filthy Beasts     ""Jessica throws aside pride and pretense expressing with generous vulnerability the heartbreaks and hopes that come with raising a child with a rare disease. More than an honest and humorous memoir, BreathTaking can be the guide star so many seek when life hands them more than they ever imagined they could endure.""  --Daniel DeFabio, Co-founder Disorder: The Rare Disease Film Festival, Co-founder The Disorder Channel. Advocate. “A story of relentless heartbreak met with wit, strength, and resilience, Jessica Fein’s memoir reminds us that optimism, perseverance, and ultimately acceptance are the keystones to surviving life’s curveballs. When the choices are curling up in the fetal position or facing adversity head-on, Fein has chosen the latter in spades. Her story is the perfect illustration of how we control nothing in life but our actions and attitude.” --Jennifer Weisel Bailey, Entertainment Director, ELLE Magazine    “In Breath Taking, Jessica Fein finds the words to convey the deepest truths of being human and then shares them with vivid candor as if over a cup of coffee.”  --Rabbi Susan Silverman, author of Casting Lots: Creating a Family in a Beautiful, Broken World     “Jessica Fein is that rare writer who can defuse sorrow with her sense of humor.” --Dan Zevin, Thurber Prize-winning humorist and award-winning humor columnist for The New York Times "
