Author Debra Mak

Join us when author Debra Mak visits to discuss her memoir, Invisible Limp.

About the author:

Debra Mak is sure our world is starving for healing. Invisible Limp is a miraculous blend of raw and real life experiences. It takes the reader through crushing losses where life stops and begins again. 

While writing, Mak says she was accompanied by the spiritual force of humanity, and that whatever made her a writer has everything to do with misery and how people can evolve to find their highest and deepest selves in the dirt, in the darkest of times. Mak says she is a living scar that hits the floor each morning, giving thanks for a new day.

Invisible Limp is her wish that readers find the resilience to keep moving through both the terror and beauty of what it means to be fully human.

Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Mac's Backs - Book on Coventry.

About the branch

The Beachwood Branch first opened to the public on October 31, 1982. At the time, it was the first branch in the CCPL system to have an automated circulation system. Located just a few hundred yards from the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, the branch offers a drive-up window where customers can pick up requested materials, dedicated spaces for kids and teens, and a beautiful outdoor reading garden.
