Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds.

Author Jasmina Agrillo Scherr knows about resilience. Her life has never been easy. As a child, she felt different from the get-go because she sensed and saw what others couldn’t. Her mother--manic, depressed and irrational--wanted to take her to “head doctors.” Jasmina suffered through illness and appendicitis—while living with a mother who was “a walking time bomb.” As a teen, her best friend suffered a mental breakdown. She left home early to make her way in Maine and earn a fine arts degree –putting herself through college while working a variety of jobs. Next came a rocky and unfulfilling marriage. Then, a brain tumor that nearly killed her and made her fight back to regain her full mental and motor skills. And lastly, a heartbreaking divorce. Yes, Jasmina knows about resilience, but she also knows the joy of buoyancy and a life filled with spiritual blessings, a loving son and late in life, an adoring husband. She knows the beauty of connecting to the world beyond this reality, serving others, and being guided toward the light whenever at a crossroads. Her new book Mirror of My Soul, Sanctum of My Heart, is a spiritual memoir and inspiring treatise on how heart-resonance, intuition and resilience can get you past the tough times and into the thrive times! She is with us here tonight to talk about tapping into that resilience.
