Rachel Zimmerman presents Us, After: A Memoir of Love and Suicide
In conversation with Deesha Philyaw
Wine reception to follow
Award-winning journalist Rachel Zimmerman discusses her memoir Us, After, which examines domestic devastation and resurgence, digging into the struggle between public and private selves, life’s shifting perspectives, the work of motherhood, and the secrets we keep. When a state trooper appeared at Rachel Zimmerman’s door to report that her husband had jumped to his death off a nearby bridge, she fell to her knees, unable to fully absorb the news. How could the man she married, a devoted father and robotics professor at MIT, have committed such a violent act? How would she explain this to her young daughters? And could she have stopped him? In this memoir, Rachel confronts the unimaginable and discovers the good in what remains. Rachel discusses her work with acclaimed author Deesha Philyaw (The Secret Lives of Church Ladies), along with a reading and book signing.
