Giveaway! :)

I've shared info about your book within some of the disabled community here in BC, Canada for folks with energy-limiting illnesses, and there's been feedback that this is so needed! Absolutely cannot WAIT for Unfit Parent to come out too. Thank you so much for all of your writing so far - I am gobbling it up after reading your essay in Disability Visibility. I'm deeply appreciative of the examples you share of navigating challenges, the practical tips, the creative adaptive solutions, and the general sense of solidarity and role modelling. There is such a lack of resources in this area. You feel like a crip parenting doula to me as my partner and I contemplate whether we have the capacity to take on parenthood given my limitations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing me what is possible. I wish you all the best with your book launch! -Andrea
