On Not Knowing

&ldquo;Riveting, heartbreaking, sometimes difficult, always inspiring.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;The Beauty in Breaking&#160;takes us into the life in an emergency room&mdash;the drama, the adrenaline, the emotion&mdash;with such immediacy that I could not help but be completely enthralled by the individual stories of the patients that Michele Harper treats. But this powerful, poignant page-turner of a book also tells a much larger and universal story about how healing actually happens, not just for broken bodies but for broken hearts and souls. In sharing the stories of her patients and her own life, Harper shows us that that healing begins only after we are broken open ourselves. And she shows us with hopeful, heartbreaking clarity that it comes from healing each other.&rdquo; &mdash;Kerry Egan, author of&#160;On Living &ldquo;The Beauty in Breaking&#160;is a compelling page-turner about how Dr. Michele Harper took a broken childhood and wove herself into a strong, honest, compassionate doctor.

This powerful story will resonate with readers.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly (starred review)&ldquo;Harper&rsquo;s words inspire hope and understanding of the importance of peace and acceptance of the past. Poignant, helpful, and encouraging, [her] lessons from life in and outside of the emergency room ultimately teach readers how to trust the healing process.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal&ldquo;In this illuminating memoir, an African American emergency room doctor finds that her patients&rsquo; stories lead her to make connections between her work and the larger world.&rdquo; &mdash;Shelf Awareness&ldquo;A book for our times, Harper&rsquo;s debut is a compelling memoir about her life as a Black woman emergency room doctor and how that work overlaps with the complexities of life.

“Kalland’s direct approach is to be commended as well as the accessibility of the book (blessedly free of jargonized language), and for creating new avenues for further research into the attribution of values and anti-values to highly contentious environmental discourses.”  ·  Durham Anthropology Journal

	“Kalland's deconstruction of the ‘Superwhale’ as an environmentalist symbol and magnet for New Age belief systems is a very accessible and engaging example of discourse analysis. Many readers will find it a bit unsettling to recognize their own unexamined pro-whale, anti-whaling sentiments as elements of a hegemonic discourse centered on a figment of shared imagination--a body of values, sentiments, and emotive symbols--rather than a flesh and blood animal.”  ·  Choice

	“...a unique work. Surprisingly, perhaps, given the prominence of its subject, there is nothing comparable in the literature. It draws on the author’s decades-long devotion to the topic. As a result, it is rich in its command of the academic, policy, and popular literatures on the subject. It is, simply put, authoritative. It is also convincing.”  ·  Michael Dove, Yale University

	“a thorough and very interesting analysis of the whaling controversy.”   ·  Kay Milton, Queen’s University Belfast
