Hello! I read your essay on CoJ and immediately bought the book. I’m a fellow parent with EDS (the symptoms of which have leveled up considerably in the last few years) and I am so grateful for your words.

I receved the notice that my copy was shipped today. Can't wait until it comes and I start reading. As a parent who passed her extraordinary struggles onto two of her children, I spent years finding no one to share my deepest concerns with. So, this space is a special bonus in my life.

Thank you for ordering it, and I hope it's meaningful to you. Yes, figuring out how to think and feel about our kids' suffering is a big part of it.

Congrats on the book launch! I am looking forward to reading it — as the parent of a disabled kid, I spend a lot of time thinking about that word (disabled! is it fair to apply it to him? what about special needs? What about neurodivergant?!?) and also how to show up for him in a world that isn't aways friendly to people who are different. Thank you for sharing your story.

Thank you, Anna. Book promotion is weird! Trying to remind myself why I'm doing it.
