Author Talk: Michelle Scheibner - Rosebud Library

Next date: Thursday, 14 November 2024 | 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Decoding the Hidden Threads: Family Secrets, Trauma, and Identity Inheritance.

Join us at Rosebud Library where Michelle Scheiber will be discussing her latest book Hush: A Memoir Unravelling the Unintended Legacy of Family Secrets.

Do we need an acceptable identity label to be validated? What makes us who we are? What defines us?

In 2016, Michelle Scheibner was struck by a realisation: her identity story hadn't begun the day she was born.

The death of a significant love triggered a deep systemic grief, for Michelle it was complicated: she was single, childless, voiceless, alone and family-less.

Her memoir ‘Hush’ follows her journey discovering how the intersection of history, culture, beliefs, and genetics reveal where identity begins.

Free, bookings essential.
