Join us as we welcome author Renee Harmon, M.D. In October 2018, Dr. Harmon lost her husband, Harvey, to younger-onset Alzheimer's disease when he was only fifty-eight years old. After Harvey's passing and nearly a decade of caring for him, Harmon found solace in hiking, nature, and travel-discovering that even when she felt frozen in her grief, her feet would keep her moving. In her memoir, Life Hikes, Harmon shares her journey of self-discovery in the wake of loss with authenticity, candor, and grace. From an encounter with gigantic Galápagos tortoises to the 19,000-foot summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to the mythology-steeped Greek island of Ithaca, she explores the parts of herself and the edges of her grief that will ultimately bring her through it. This is a triumphant tale of finding a new and authentic life through kindness, community, mindfulness, and the knowledge that the search for lost strength can sometimes reveal new and more powerful versions of ourselves.
