2023 Annual Institute Dinner:
A Heart That Works

Keynote Speaker: Rob Delaney

It was the book he didn’t want to write, and eventually, felt compelled to. Rob Delaney’s memoir—profound, painful, full of emotion, and bracingly honest—offers solace to those who have faced devastation and shows us how grace may appear even in the darkest times.
In 2016, Delaney’s one-year-old son, Henry, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Two years later, Henry died, and his family watched their world fall away to reveal the things that matter most. This fall, Rob will join us in conversation about his 2022 New York Times bestseller, A Heart That Works, an intimate, unflinching, and fiercely funny exploration of what happened. From the harrowing illness to the vivid, bodily impact of grief and the blind, furious rage that followed through to the forceful, unstoppable love that remains. In the madness of his grief, Delaney grapples with the fragile miracle of life, the mysteries of death, and the question of purpose for those left behind.
