A raw and intimate portrait of family, love, life, relationships, and disability parenting through the eyes of a mother to a daughter with Down's syndrome.

With the arrival of her daughter with Down's 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.
