"""Emily Bloom draws on history, literature, and personal experience of what she calls 'adjacency to disability'--first as a sister, then as a mother--in her exploration of how modern technology intervenes in the ancient arts of mothering and care work.I was very moved by this book."" --Jessica Winter, author of The Fourth Child ""A compelling memoir of the early years of parenthood, of dealing with doctors, of dealing with bodies and illnesses, and of trying to make sense of these experiences by 'reading' them through science and art. There is so much care and intelligence on every page. Most of all, at the end of each day as I put my own life aside, I wanted nothing more than to pick this book up and connect to Bloom's through her beautiful, lucid, wise writing."" --Emilie Pine, author of Notes to Self"
