“We are grateful to Eugenia for sharing her story with us, including the signs that led her to get tested, how it has affected her everyday life, and how she’s managed to keep living her life,” says Caroline Burchfield, Director of Community Relations at Noble Horizons.

According to a statement, Zukerman vowed to do her best to handle her diagnosis “privately and purposefully.” Drawing on her skills as a writer, she began to chronicle her experience, mostly in verse. “Like Falling Through a Cloud” is the result—an intimate, courageous, heartbreaking, lyrical, and uplifting memoir of Eugenia Zukerman’s year of finding her way through the maze of confusion and brambles of loss. “I did seek help,” as she shares, “but what seems to have saved me from crumbling and falling apart was music, love, poetry, and, oddly, laughter.”

Zukerman is an internationally renowned flutist and writer. She was the artistic director of the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival in Colorado for 13 years and the arts correspondent on CBS Sunday Morning for more than 25 years. She is the author of two novels, two works of nonfiction, and numerous screenplays, articles, and book reviews. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1944, she graduated from the Julliard School of Music and lived in New York City for many years. A mother of two daughters and two grandchildren, she makes her home in upstate New York with her husband, two horses, three dogs, and assorted wildlife.
