An Evening of Story & Conversation with Lainey Miles

 There’s something intimate about watching an author speak about their work in their own voice. During our recent Book & Brunch Spotlight, we had the pleasure of hosting  Lainey Miles , and what unfolded was more than an interview, it was a layered conversation about inspiration, courage, and the heart behind the book. At Book & Brunch, we believe stories are meant to be experienced, not just read. We’re grateful to  Lainey   Miles for sharing both the book and the journey behind it. Interested in being featured in our future Spotlight? Contact us here. Let here your story.

Today at Book & Brunch, we’re honored to spotlight one of the most powerful memoirs of resilience we’ve read this season. Two Mountains: Kilimanjaro to Quadriplegic and Back by S. Michael Scadron.

Image
  Michael, an avid runner and trekker, reached the summit of Kilimanjaro at 52. Weeks later, a rare neurological disorder left him quadriplegic, unable to feed, move, or care for himself. What follows is a raw, honest, inspiring fight to reclaim his life, a second ascent that required even more courage than the first mountain. This memoir blends humor, heartbreak, determination, and deep humanity. It asks us to reflect on what   real  strength looks like, and how we rebuild when everything familiar disappears. At Book & Brunch, we celebrate stories that elevate, enlighten, and empower. Michael’s story is all three. ✨ Join today’s discussion and share your thoughts. Which “mountain” in your own life are you climbing right.
