Rebecca N. Thompson, MD, is a family medicine and public health physician who specializes in women’s and children’s health. Her book, HELD TOGETHER: A SHARED MEMOIR OF MOTHERHOOD, MEDICINE, AND IMPERFECT LOVE (HarperOne, April 2025) weaves her story of learning to become a doctor while facing life-threatening pregnancy complications into the narratives of her patients, colleagues, and friends as they endure challenges in building and sustaining their own families too. These are stories of choice and of change, of fierce optimism in times of uncertainty, and of turning grief and regret into growth and purpose. These are the voices of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances. Dr. Thompson lives in Portland, Oregon, where she spends her free time wandering through green spaces, reading in cozy nooks, playing unreasonably complicated board games, repurposing found objects, and accompanying her husband and children on all-weather adventures near and far.
