Coming up on Connections: Friday, September 10

First hour: Deanne Quinn Miller and Gary Craig on their new book, "The Prison Guard's Daughter"

Second hour: Dr. Bradford Berk on his new book, "Getting Your Brain & Body Back"On the 50th anniversary of the Attica prison riot, we welcome Deanne Quinn Miller. She was five years old when her father, a prison guard, was killed at Attica. She spent decades pursuing both the full story of her father's death and justice for everyone involved -- including the inmates of Attica. Her new book is called "The Prison Guard's Daughter", and it's co-authored by longtime Democrat & Chronicle reporter Gary Craig. Both co-authors join us:

  • Deanne Quinn Miller, co-author of "The Prison Guard's Daughter"
  • Gary Craig, co-author of "The Prison Guard's Daughter", and reporter at the Democrat & Chronicle

Then in our second hour, we're joined by Dr. Bradford C. Berk to discuss his new book, "Getting Your Brain and Body Back: Everything You Need to Know after Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, or Traumatic Brain Injury." Dr. Berk was permanently paralyzed after a biking accident in 2009. He was back to work as CEO of the University of Rochester Medical Center one year later. In his book, Dr. Berk provides advice regarding medical care, mental health treatment, and technology to aid in recovery. He joins us for the hour to share his message and his research. Our guest:

  • Bradford C. Berk, M.D., Ph.D., board certified cardiologist; Distinguished University professor in medicine, neurology, pathology, pharmacology & physiology, and physical medicine & rehabilitation; founder and director of the University of Rochester Neurorestoration Institute; and author of “Getting Your Brain & Body Back”
