Unfit Parent
Unfit Parent, examines the obstacles that disabled parents face, the societal beliefs that undergird those barriers, and the political and economic systems that hold it all in place. Unfit Parent explores how disability culture and the strengths inherent in having a body like mine would, if included in parenting culture, make contemporary parenting more sustainable.

"This book will change how you think about parenting forever, no matter how able-bodied you may be.
As a disabled parent, Jessica Slice didn't want my pity or admiration. She wanted me to learn about the many obstacles people with disabilities face when they consider parenting, and how those obstacles make parenting harder for pretty much everyone.
This book made me more determined than ever to help dismantle the unrealistic expectations that make raising kids difficult. I give this my highest recommendation." ~Blair
"I adored this book.
The writing is beautiful, the content is essential, and the author moves from personal narrative to researched reporting to thoughtful analysis without skipping a step.
I had an advance reader's copy but went ahead and placed my preorder so I'd have a copy I can lend too." ~Alison
