SUMMARY:Drop In Book Signing with Kirsten Hopfensperger
DESCRIPTION:By leaning into love, Our Hearts Will Always Know is perfect for any caregiver, child, or loved one experiencing memory loss. It opens a gentle conversation about patience and vulnerability, becoming a safe space for those affected to feel “seen” and “held”, no matter what the day brings.\nStop by to meet the author. Books available for purchase ($14).\n___________________________\nMeet the Author:\nInspired by generations of family with a passion for writing and drawing, Kirsten has been creating for as long as she can remember. She was moved to share her work after going through loss, grief, and healing. Through gentle and vulnerable approaches, she brings light to topics that are often uncharted. Her whimsical, yet powerful illustrations bring magic into the hearts of all her readers. In an impactful way, her poetic stories hold deep meaning and connect readers to a universal narrative of love.\nWhen not writing or illustrating, Kirsten can be found spending time with her husband and two children. Together, they enjoy cozying up with a good book, spending time with loved ones at family cabins, and enjoying nature. She is active in the pursuit to find wholeness and soaking up as much family time as she can.\n____________________________\nFull Book Description:\nEach day that begins in memory loss offers a new opportunity to join a loved one right where they are and cover them in comfort and support. Through inspiring words, incorporating shades of green, and beautiful illustrations, the author shares a tender tale of love amidst memory loss. She begins by taking the reader on a quest through understanding, empathy, and finding joy amidst the unknowns. By leaning into love, this story is perfect for any caregiver, child, or loved one experiencing memory loss of any kind. It opens a gentle conversation about patience, vulnerability, and becoming a safe-space for those affected to feel “seen” and “held”, no matter what the day brings.\nHaving loved her own grandmother through Parkinson’s disease dementia, and spending years visiting residents in a memory-care facility, Hopfensperger brings a whole new layer of compassion to an otherwise uncharted topic. This can be such an isolating journey, and the author extends support to all who are traveling it.\n“When you don’t remember, my love for you still grows. Even unfamiliar, our hearts will always know…”\n
