Tracie Frank Mayer Presents Incompatible With Nature
CELEBRATED INTERNATIONAL AUTHOR, TRACIE FRANK MAYER, SHARES THE FIGHT OF HER LIFE WITH NEW MEMOIR: INCOMPATIBLE WITH NATURE-A MOTHER’S STORY
(New York, NY—March 6, 2017) –Notable author and socialite, Tracie Frank Mayer, is proud to announce the release of her inspirational memoir, Incompatible With Nature-A Mother’s Story.
Incompatible With Nature-A Mother’s Story is the compelling narrative of one woman’s fight to save her child’s life; an unflinching account of love, rebellion and resilience. In the summer of 1984, Tracie, a young African American woman, fell in love with and married a German man and moved to his country. Uprooted from everything familiar to her and in a land where she knew no one and didn’t understand the language, Tracie gave birth to her anxiously awaited son. Twelve days later, her psychological balance tumbled fully into despair: “There is no surgery to save him,” the doctors explain to her husband in German. “Let your baby die,” they say to her in broken English. Their son, Marc had been born with Heterotaxy Syndrome; essentially a two chambered heart rather than four, an extremely rare and fatal condition.
Battling her husband, the doctors who didn’t believe Marc could survive, his innumerable infections, as well as her own fears, she found a way to hold on in the maelstrom while doing all she could to give her son a chance at life.Tracie’s enthralling memoir is a remarkable tale and a true testimony to the perseverance of the human spirit.
