SUMMARY:Making the Rounds: Defying Norms in Love and Medicine Patricia Grayhall with David Logan (online event)
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the launch of Patricia Grayhall’ s memoir Making the Rounds: Defying Norms in Love and Medicine.   \nPlease note that this event is taking place online only. \nTo participate in the event on Zoom please register on the Eventbrite page. \nAFTER you’ve registered\, please return to the Eventbrite page at the time of the event and click on “Access link” under “When and Where/location.” \nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel \n  \nDefying expectations of a woman growing up in Arizona in the 1960s\, Patricia Grayhall fled Phoenix at nineteen for the vibrant streets of San Francisco\, determined to finally come out as a lesbian after years of trying to be a “normal” girl. Her dream of becoming a physician drew her back to college\, and then on to medical school in conservative Salt Lake City. \nThough Patricia enjoyed a supportive friendship with a male colleague\, she longed for an equal\, loving relationship with a woman. But her graduate medical training in Boston\, with its emotional demands\, long hours\, lack of sleep\, and social isolation\, compounded by the free-wheeling sexual revolution of the 1970s\, made finding that special relationship difficult. Often disappointed but never defeated\, Patricia—armed with wit and determination—battled on against sexism in her male-dominated profession and against discrimination in a still largely homophobic nation\, plunging herself into a life that was never boring and certainly never without passion. \nA chronicle of coming of age during second-wave feminism and striving to have both love and career as a gay medical doctor\, Making the Rounds is a well-paced and deeply humanizing memoir of what it means to seek belonging and love—and to find them\, in the most surprising ways. \nMore information can be found at www.PatriciaGrayhall.com. \n  \nSuggested donation $5 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to join\, with or without donation. You can make a donation when you register on the Eventbrite page\, or make a tax-deductible donation on the Bureau’s Fractured Atlas page. Thank you for your support! \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n  \nReview quotes: \n“The author writes with a sense of blunt reality and warm humanity . . . The struggles\, deeply felt emotions\, and coming-of-age triumphs make this memoir touching and personal\, and it will stir reflection in those who read it.”\n—Kirkus Reviews\, starred review \n  \n“Memoirs like Grayhall’ s are important to us. The larger culture has owned the narrative forever and rendered us inconsequential if not invisible. Our untold stories need to be out there\, and a story like Grayhall’s from a woman of her achievements is a vital contribution to our community and history.”\n—Katherine V. Forrest\, author of Curious Wine and the Kate Delafield Mystery Series \n  \n“Grayhall skillfully depicts the problems confronting any ambitious person in search of stable romantic relationships . . . those professional challenges resonate throughout this fast-paced\, immersive\, and weighty memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the hardships of being true to yourself.”\n—BookLife Reviews \n  \n“Patricia Grayhall has written a vital and thrilling memoir\, the story of a woman figuring out who she is and who she is meant to be.\n—Steve Almond\, New York Times best-selling author of Candyfreak and Against Football \n  \nPatricia Grayhall is a medical doctor and author of Making the Rounds; Defying Norms in Love and Medicine as well as articles in Queer Forty and The Gay and Lesbian Review. After nearly forty years of medical practice\, this is her debut\, very personal\, and frank memoir about coming out as a lesbian in the late 1960s and training to become a doctor when society disapproved of both for a woman. Patricia lives with the love of her life on an island in the Pacific Northwest where she enjoys other people’s dogs and the neighborhood wildlife including otters\, seals\, water birds and black bear.  \n  \nDavid Logan grew up in Cheyenne\, Wyoming and graduated from Harvard College in 1970. He then returned to the west to attend medical school at the University of Utah where he met Patricia. This began a close and loving friendship that has lasted over 50 years. They supported each other through internships and residencies in Boston and eventually their first real jobs in Washington DC. David lives with his life partner on a seven acre wildlife refuge (house included) in Palmetto\, Florida where they enjoy magnificent sunsets and amazing wildlife. \n
