Third Tuesday Author: Rebecca N. Thompson, MD
Tuesday, February 17, 7:00 – 8:00 pm
Lake Theater & Cafe, 106 North State Street

Held Together recounts Dr. Thompson’s complicated path to parenthood as a young doctor many years ago, woven into the stories of her patients, friends, and medical colleagues. Their voices speak not just to the challenges of creating families, but to the many ways that families can grow, change, thrive and struggle as they navigate their relationships across generations.

Dr. Thompson will be joined in conversation by Kelly Burke, a fellow Oregonian and her former patient. Kelly’s compelling and deeply felt story touches on themes of living with a chronic illness that threatens her personal and professional identities, talking to children about serious medical conditions and death, and recognizing the ways that physical limitations affect how we relate to our loved ones and shape how we understand ourselves.

This event is made possible through the sponsorship of the Friends of the Lake Oswego Public Library, and is presented in cooperation with the Lake Theater & Cafe. Admission is free and no ticket is required (though food and drink purchases are encouraged to offset the cost to the Lake Theater). Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the presentation begins at 7:00 pm.

Lake Theater & Cafe is located at 106 North State Street in Lake Oswego. For more information, contact Alicia Yokoyama at [email protected] or 503-534-4228.
