Marc Palmieri, author of She Danced with Lightning: My Daughter’s Struggle with Epilepsy and Her Boundless Will to Live, will discuss what his child taught him during her decade-long battle with this severe disorder.

Marc Palmieri is a playwright, actor, screenwriter, baseball coach, college professor, and the author of She Danced With Lightning, a memoir about his daughter’s battle to persevere as a competitive dancer, which culminated in a terrifying decline, a courageous performance, and an 11th-hour, life-saving brain surgery.
