Margie Hiermer is a nationally recognized public speaker and author of Chinese Lanterns, the narrative nonfiction account of one woman’s rise from rags to great riches—and back to rags—without ever losing her capacity to find joy and goodness despite facing seemingly insurmountable despair.
The book was released to coincide with Margie’s Closing Keynote presentation in Atlanta at the National Unity 2016 Conference – Community Health Workers: Social Change Agents Advancing Health Equity and Improving Outcomes.
