      <image:title>Books, Films &amp; More - Truth and Agency: Writing Ideas For Adopted People June 2022</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wrote this book in case I got hit by a bus. I didn’t want all I’ve learned working with adopted people as a writing coach to disappear. I have come up with so many writing prompts that I think are helpful and original to my brain, and I was afraid I’d go nuts up in heaven thinking that I should have left some sort of document behind. In other words, I wrote this book so I could relax in the future and so you can write now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books, Films &amp; More - You Don’t Look Adopted July, 2016</image:title>
      <image:caption>Can writing your story save your life? I should have come with a manual. My parents thought they were getting one thing when they adopted me—a baby of their own—when what they got was a human being with a story of her own. As a child, I traded safety for silence. As an adult, I had no idea who I was, why I quit nearly everything I started, why I struggled with things that came more easily to my friends (jobs, relationships, finances, self-esteem), why I seemed hell-bent on throwing myself away. It got to the point where I didn’t care if telling my story was going to kill me: I was going to find a way to tell it, because living a life that felt like a lie was unbearable. In order to write this book, I moved away from everything I knew, maxed out my credit cards, borrowed from friends and family, had lots of sex with strangers. Nearly penniless, I was living like a millionaire in the apartment of a fabulously famous writer. I was finally listening to my own voice. I ate cheesecake for dinner and fell in love with the East Village. I broke almost every rule I ran into because I was afraid this kind of freedom couldn’t go on forever. As I wrote, I lived every day as if it were my last. I was in for such a surprise. I wrote this book in 93 days. If I can do it, anyone can. View Reviews →</image:caption>

This book is for anyone who wants to write but is afraid they can't. This book proves that if you can breathe, if you can poop (!), you can write.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books, Films &amp; More (Copy) - To Be Real February, 2024</image:title>
      <image:caption>When you are adopted, the urge to know and tell your story can make it hard to focus on the life you have. You can think that once you do know your story, once you do tell your story, you will find yourself, and your real life can finally start. But what happens when you risk everything to share the story of your life, and things don't go as you might have hoped? What happens when you tell your story and your life as you know it falls apart because you didn't have a backup plan? Maybe you become real. With the help of fellow adoptees Hannah Andrews, Dawn Conwell Mulkay, Leah E. Cooper, Brad Ewell, Shelley Gaske, Sharon Stein McNamara, Andrew Glynn, Tonni Johnston, Kathleen Shea Kirstein, Elisa Nickerson, Kristen Steinhilber, Kimberly Van Den Hoek and other special guests, To Be Real gives you a many-voiced picture of what happens after you lose your mother when you are very young.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books, Films &amp; More (Copy) - Truth and Agency: Writing Ideas For Adopted People June 2022</image:title>
      <image:caption>I wrote this book in case I got hit by a bus. I didn’t want all I’ve learned working with adopted people as a writing coach to disappear. I have come up with so many writing prompts that I think are helpful and original to my brain, and I was afraid I’d go nuts up in heaven thinking that I should have left some sort of document behind. In other words, I wrote this book so I could relax in the future and so you can write now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Books, Films &amp; More (Copy) - You Don’t Look Adopted July, 2016</image:title>
      <image:caption>Can writing your story save your life? I should have come with a manual. My parents thought they were getting one thing when they adopted me—a baby of their own—when what they got was a human being with a story of her own. As a child, I traded safety for silence. As an adult, I had no idea who I was, why I quit nearly everything I started, why I struggled with things that came more easily to my friends (jobs, relationships, finances, self-esteem), why I seemed hell-bent on throwing myself away. It got to the point where I didn’t care if telling my story was going to kill me: I was going to find a way to tell it, because living a life that felt like a lie was unbearable. In order to write this book, I moved away from everything I knew, maxed out my credit cards, borrowed from friends and family, had lots of sex with strangers. Nearly penniless, I was living like a millionaire in the apartment of a fabulously famous writer. I was finally listening to my own voice. I ate cheesecake for dinner and fell in love with the East Village. I broke almost every rule I ran into because I was afraid this kind of freedom couldn’t go on forever. As I wrote, I lived every day as if it were my last. I was in for such a surprise. I wrote this book in 93 days. If I can do it, anyone can. View Reviews →</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This book is for anyone who thinks they can't write. This book is for the person who has stories inside but who feels stuck. This book is for anyone who wants to write but is afraid they can't. This book proves that if you can breathe, if you can poop (!), you can write.</image:caption>
