ABOUT THE BOOK

Nathan Peterson, a singer/songwriter from Illinois, invites us to see the world around, and within, from a new place. In a culture whose foundations are built upon pain-avoidance and future-living, it is almost impossible to be where we are, when we are, and who we are.So Am I is an invitation to come back to where, when, and who we are… to live our own life. Nathan describes with great transparency his fight to live each moment of the 14 months that his daughter, Olivia — deemed “incompatible with life” at birth — fought to do the same. He shares the lessons he learned from a terminal, perfect little girl, about life, living, and letting go. He invites us to see the world around us, and the world within, from a new place. A place we’ve been longing to be.Nathan’s follow-up book, Dance Again, is now available, as well as two matching music albums, So Am I and Dance Again (available everywhere music is sold).Nathan Peterson is a singer/songwriter from Illinois. He and his wife Heather are the parents of five children, Jude, Charlie, Ruth, Olivia, and Benjamin.
