Stir: My Broken Brain and the Meals That Brought Me Home  
At 28, Jessica Fechtor was happily immersed in graduate school and thinking about starting a family— until when an aneurysm burst in her brain and nearly killed her. Her journey to recovery began at the stove as she regained the strength to stir, and in turn drew strength from the restorative power of cooking. Written with intelligence, humor, and warmth, Stir is a heartfelt examination of what it means to nourish and be nourished. This event is presented in partnership with the Health and Wellness Resource Group of the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce.
