Join local author, Laura Beretsky as she discusses her memoir, Seizing Control: Managing Epilepsy and Others' Reactions to it - a Memoir.
“Despite a lifelong challenge managing epilepsy, Laura Beretsky has led a good life with friends, rewarding work, and a life-partner. After having a grand mal seizure at work, she was devastated by the subsequent job insecurity—her superiors sidelined her. When her first child was born three years later, she worried that loss of awareness during seizures jeopardized his safety. Laura opted for brain surgery despite the terrifying possibility of life-threatening complications.” -Publisher
