I was just a guest on NPR's 1A talking about care, loneliness, Medicaid cuts, and my daughter's life. So happy and grateful to get to share our story. We need to fight back.

My book is ready to ship! Thanks so much to everyone who preordered -- I'd love to have an audio version for Millie (who loves listening), and this is helping. The discount code still works: E25RTHFD. So grateful to everyone who has helped us along the way. www.dukeupress.edu/beautiful-my...
