In observance of American Heart Month in February please join us for a discussion of Beautiful Affliction: A Memoir. Lene Fogelberg is sure she is dying but no doctor in Sweden, her home country, believes her. Will I die young? A question she has carried in her heart since childhood. When her young family moves to the US, an answer, a diagnosis, is finally found: she is in the last stages of a fatal congenital heart disease. But is it too late?
