"It's easy to believe that giants exist only in our imagination, but the truth is they are real, and they are my kin because I have had gigantism too."
Join us for an author talk, Q&A, and book signing from Colleen Snyder, author of In Search of Giants: The Quest to Find the Genetic Giants of Northern Ireland. In 2020, she discovered that she is the first person in the U.S. found to have the rare Northern Ireland variant of the AIP genetic mutation that caused her gigantism.
Rich in storytelling and accessible to all, In Search of Giants bridges the gap between science and history with warmth and curiosity. Whether you love Irish culture, are intrigued by medical mysteries, or enjoy uncovering hidden histories, this book promises a journey you won't forget.
