Judith Hannan will present her forthcoming memoir, Motherhood, Exaggerated. In the book, when eight-year-old Nadia cracks her jaw unmasking a rare bone cancer, mother and daughter are launched on a revelatory journey of treatment, recovery and survival. Not always certain how to raise her daughter, who seemed born with a gravity and preoccupation with death, Nadia's mother must confront her own upbringing, her past anxiety disorders, her relationship with her husband and other children, and her ambivalence about faith in order to shepherd her daughter toward health and survival.
