Unraveling the Invisible Bonds: A Riveting Dive into 'Held Together' by Rebecca N. Thompson

Another unique perspective in this book is that many of the stories come from medical professionals, including Thompson, a family physician. The book highlights both the need for women to advocate for medical care that considers their entire physical and mental well-being, and how the women in the medical profession, whose stories are represented here, learn to channel the courage and strength from their own experiences, both in their personal lives and in caring for patients.

For women reading this collection, many of these stories will resonate with their own experiences. Even for readers who don’t identify as mothers, there’s still much to gain from this collection. Towards the end, Thompson talks to her son about the scars people carry: “I thought about how we are all broken but healing. How we can heal ourselves only by healing each other.” Held Together is a testament to the power of sharing stories to aid healing and provide comfort.
