Hannah Bottigheimer

Hannah Bottigheimer writes about the unseen architecture of family life—the invisible labor of care, the cost of devotion, and the fragile endurance of love through rupture and repair. 

She is currently at work on The False Finish Line, a memoir about a mother navigating her daughter’s psychiatric crisis and its reverberations across a blended family of seven. “Unraveling,” an essay drawn from the project, appeared in Chicago Story Press.

Hannah was interviewed about the story behind the memoir. To watch the interview, click here.
