In rural Brazil, a little girl was told she had no future. She kept dreaming of a life beyond the fields.In Hanging by a Thread: A Memoir of What Holds Us Together, Marcia Regina Cook shares a deeply personal story of childhood trauma, motherhood, adoption, grief, immigration, faith, resilience, and healing, and of the people whose love helped her continue when life felt most fragile.Growing up in Brazil, Marcia learned to watch faces for signs of danger. She longed for her father's approval, found comfort in her mother's fierce and imperfect love, and imagined where the airplanes crossing the sky might someday take her. Friendship, education, and a fascination with the English language opened possibilities she could barely name.Then her two-year-old son, Vitor, died.The loss of a child reached into her marriage, her faith, and her understanding of herself as a mother. Learning to live with profound grief became part of a much longer journey toward recognizing her own worth, accepting help, and finding the courage to begin again.With tenderness and flashes of humor, Marcia returns to the experiences that shaped her: a childhood beside the river, discovering she was adopted, the complicated bonds between mothers and daughters, the ordinary joys of raising children, the demands of caregiving, and the challenges of building a new life in another country. Alongside sorrow are friendship, music, laughter, faith, and moments of unexpected kindness.This moving women's memoir of resilience and overcoming adversity explores the lasting effects of childhood wounds, grief after losing a child, family relationships, adoption, immigration, faith, and the universal search for belonging.For readers seeking inspirational memoirs about grief, healing, motherhood, resilience, and starting over, Hanging by a Thread offers something more than survival. It offers companionship and hope grounded in lived experience.©2026 Marcia Regina Cook (P)2026 Marcia Regina Cook Aventuriers, explorateurs et survie Femmes
