Madison Holleran embodied having it all: A top student, star athlete, gorgeous and popular, with a loving family. Shockingly, Madison died by suicide in 2014, in her sophomore year at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was running track. Kate Fagan explores Madison Holleran’s struggles and reveals with haunting detail and uncommon understanding the story of young people, and especially young athletes, suffering with mental illness today.
Join us for an important conversation with Kate Fagan about her book, her research, and where humanist communities can go from here. For more information: http://www.humanisthub.org/events/fagan
