 s a female African American emergency room physician in an overwhelmingly 
 male and white profession. Brought up in Washington\, D.C.\, in a complica
 ted family\, she went to Harvard\, where she met her husband. They stayed 
 together through medical school until two months before she was scheduled 
 to join the staff of a hospital in central Philadelphia when he told her h
 e couldn&rsquo\;t move with her. Her marriage at an end\, Harper\, began h
 er new life in a new city\, in a new job\, as a newly single woman.</p>\n<
 p>As Harper learned to become an effective ER physician in the ensuing yea
 rs\, bringing insight and empathy to every patient encounter\, she underst
 ood that each of us is broken&mdash\;physically and emotionally. How we re
 cognize those breaks\, how we try to mend them\, and where we go from ther
 e are all crucial parts of the healing process.</p>\n<p>Michele Harper has
  worked as an emergency room physician for more than a decade at various i
 nstitutions\, including chief resident at Lincoln Hospital in the South Br
 onx and in the emergency department at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center
  in Philadelphia. She is a graduate of Harvard University and the Renaissa
 nce School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.</p>\n<hr />\n<p><em>Brou
