Beschreibung
"A tender, beautifully written essay collection that is about so much more than parenting a child with a disability. " - Erin Pepler, author of Send Me Into The Woods Alone. A raw and intimate portrait of family, love, life, relationships, and disability parenting through the eyes of a mother to a daughter with Down syndrome. With the arrival of her daughter with Down syndrome, Adelle Purdham began unpacking a lifetime of her own ableism. In a society where people with disabilities remain largely invisible, what does it mean to parent such a child. And simultaneously, what does it mean as a mother, a writer, and a woman to truly be seen. The candid essays in I Don't Do Disability and Other Lies I've Told Myself. glimmer with humanity and passion, and explore ideas of motherhood, disability, and worth. Purdham delves into grief, rage, injustice, privilege, female friendship, marriage, and desire in a voice that is loudly empathetic, unapologetic, and true. While examining the dichotomies inside of herself, she leads us to consider the flaws in society, showing us the beauty, resilience, chaos, and wild within us all.
