Map of a Heart is a deeply personal look at what it means to build a life when the foundation was fractured from the start. In a moving testament to the power of love, The Full Catastrophe tells of a life of loss and sorrow transformed into one of hope and redemption.
Jacque Gorelick and Casey Mulligan Walsh will be joined in conversation by Samantha Rose, the author of Giving Up the Ghost.
