Embodiment

Mark,

I am a senior at Creighton University studying Justice and Peace Studies. I just finished The Book of Mev. It was a most brilliant, touching, and motivating read! One of my favorite books I have ever read. Mev was truly an amazing individual whom we could all emulate for the better. The struggle for social justice is embodied in Mev and inspires me to carry on with austerity and determination. Thank you for sharing your story with such passion and fortitude. The layout and depth of the story is beautiful.

Mev and her work were particularly touching because I am a brain tumor survivor. I was recently at St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN for a check-up. I was reading The Book of Mev, and while waiting to hear the results of my MRI scan, I came upon the page(s) where Mev was diagnosed and given her prognosis. It gave me goosebumps.

Thank you, Mark, for your work. If you are ever in Omaha, speaking or visiting Dr. Bergman, let me know. I would love chat over coffee.

Be well,

Sean Kenney
