Samina Ali, PIECES YOU'LL NEVER GET BACK: A Memoir of Unlikely Survival

Award-winning author Samina Ali joins Zibby to discuss her harrowing and redemptive memoir, PIECES YOU’LL NEVER GET BACK. Samina describes her near-fatal childbirth complications: unchecked eclampsia led to a major brain injury and coma as she gave birth. She delves into the long and painful recovery, her struggles with memory loss, and what it was like to write this book—structuring it in short, fragmented chapters to mirror how her brain now processes information. Samina also touches on the systemic medical bias that led to her concerns being ignored, the importance of self-advocacy, and how she has reclaimed her life and her relationship with her now-adult son.
