Author Talk & Book Signing with Laurie S. Jacobson
Featuring her memoir: Unexpected Awakening: 22 Days at a Buddhist Monastery Freed Me from Abuse
Join us for an intimate and inspiring event with Laurie S. Jacobson, Certified Health Coach and Boston University graduate, as she shares her transformative journey of healing and self-discovery. In her powerful memoir, Laurie recounts how 22 days at a Buddhist monastery helped her break free from the emotional and narcissistic abuse of a husband who became antisemitic.
Through courage, hope, and an open mind, Laurie found unexpected clarity and strength in a spiritual setting far from her everyday life. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of inner awakening.
