For Readers, Book Clubs, and Small Groups

Forty Five Chapters. Five Movements. One Borrowed Breath.

Before Dr. Sherry-Ann Brown could speak, other hands fought for her first breath. This is the story of what that breath became, and of everyone required to carry it.

What this session answers

Why This Room, and Why Now

Memoirs that flatter their subject

This one records blunt edges, blind spots, naive trust, fatigue, mistakes, and repair alongside the achievement.

Books that end when the reading ends

Each movement includes reflection prompts, and the Reading Circle guide turns the book into six weeks of conversation.

Faith writing that avoids the body

Cardiology, cancer survivorship, data, and dependence sit together with Scripture rather than beside it.

Questions

Before You Invite Us

Do I need to be religious to read this?

No. Faith is part of the author's life and appears honestly. The questions the book asks belong to anyone with a mountain in front of them.

Is there a workbook?

Yes. The Field Guide is a distinct companion workbook built around the Breath Inventory, the Mountain Map, and the Rope Team.

Can our book club meet the author?

Virtual visits are available for circles of twelve or more, scheduled around the Field Year route.

How long does a Reading Circle take?

Six weeks is the recommended rhythm, one movement per week with an opening and a closing session.
