Best selling author-Dani Shapiro, unveils her newest book "Devotion: A Memoir"
Forty something Dani Shapiro was leading a seemingly idyllic life-she had a wonderful child, a husband who adored her and a thriving writing career. So why was she waking up panicked in the middle of the night? Raised in a deeply religious home, Dani had fled all that at the earliest opportunity.
But then when she was in mid-life her young son asked “Do you believe in God? Or heaven? What happens when we die?”
Dani realized that she had no answers for her son, and was failing him. So she embarked on a two year quest to figure out what she actually believed. She didn’t go to India, or Tibet, or Thailand-she simply looked in her own backyard for answers to life’s deepest questions.
Best Selling Author Dani Shapiro will discuss five important lessons that will help us find meaning in today’s world, which she now shares in her new book “Devotion: A Memoir”
