"He’s so normal. How can anything be wrong?"
KIM SEGAL, the main character in Aaron and Me, is faced with one of the most horrendous experiences a parent can endure during a baby wellness checkup. A clinical observation shows a couple of innocent café au lait birthmarks which could indicate a possible diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis for her 18-month old son, AARON. Kim feels ill equipped to cope with the indefinite nature of the diagnosis, and begins to spiral out of control.

The sense of place she writes about are from the New York metropolitan area, since it is where she is most familiar. She’s e read her work before audiences at the New York Public Library and Montclair Library. All stories have been well received.
On a personal note, I have been happily married for the past thirty-eight years, and have two grown sons. I had been a kindergarten teacher for many years, and more recently teach English as a Second Language to adults. For hobbies, I like to do needlepoint and knit. Reading is a big focus as well.

Kim Segal gets delivered a major gut punch in Debralynn Fein’s Aaron and Me, Works in Progress. Fein powerfully details the struggle Kim goes through as her baby son is diagnosed with a terrible disease and the ripple effect fallout from that. The writing is strong and the pain and triumphs are palpable making this one a real heart-wrenching but meaningful experience!
