Still, they held tightly to their faith in God to deliver on a dream they believed he inspired. However, God had a plan to take them down a road they never anticipated. His divine blueprint required them to step out in faith and obedience in their darkest hour. Yet, it was through this journey they would discover that God weaves the threads of our lives, to include our moments of despair, into the tapestry of his grand design. A portion of the sales will be used to fund charitable organizations supporting adoption.

This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A warm and wry epistle, the endless and near-perfect email you wish your mother, your mentor and your therapist would sit down and type out together." —Laura Kolbe, Wall Street Journal In 2017, Dr. Suzanne Koven published an essay describing the challenges faced by female physicians, including her own personal struggle with "imposter syndrome"—a long-held secret belief that she was not smart enough or good enough to be a “real” doctor. Accessed by thousands of readers around the world, Koven’s “Letter to a Young Female Physician” has evolved into a deeply felt reflection on her career in medicine. Koven tells candid and illuminating stories about her pregnancy during a grueling residency in the AIDS era; the illnesses of her child and aging parents during which her roles as a doctor, mother, and daughter converged, and sometimes collided; the sexism, pay inequity, and harassment that women in medicine encounter; and the twilight of her career during the COVID-19 pandemic. As she traces the arc of her life, Koven finds inspiration in literature and faces the near-universal challenges of burnout, body image, and balancing work with marriage and parenthood. Shining with warmth, clarity, and wisdom, Letter to a Young Female Physician reveals a woman forging her authentic identity in a modern landscape that is as overwhelming and confusing as it is exhilarating in its possibilities. Koven offers an indelible account, by turns humorous and profound, from a doctor, mother, wife, daughter, teacher, and writer who sheds light on our desire to find meaning, and on a way to be our own imperfect selves in the world.

When their father gets a new job outside the city, the family is tossed unceremoniously into a middle-class suburban existence.
