“Reclaiming Wellness with Chronic Illness isn’t like other books that teach people about living with chronic illness and physical disability.
Grace speaks directly to us, providing tools and space required to live life to our fullest capacity.”
- Tamela J. Gordon, author of Hood Wellness: Tales of Communal Care from People Who Drowned on Dry Land
“This book is a revelation…
I found guidance here I’ve never encountered elsewhere: how to handle complicated relationships, how illness intersects with other marginalised identities, and concrete tools that work.
Essential, compassionate and genuinely transformative”
- Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias
