Throughout their journey, Wood uses\n her notebook as a shield to keep unruly emotions at bay, often taking \ncomfort in her role as advocate and forgetting to “be the daughter,” as \none doctor reminds her to do. Meanwhile, her mother’s penchant for \ndenial and childlike tendency toward magical thinking lead to moments of\n humor even as Wood battles the red tape of hospital bureaucracies, the \nfrustration of planning in the midst of an unpredictable illness, and \nthe unintentional inhumanity of a healthcare system that too often fails\n to see the person behind the medical chart.","brand":"She Writes Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46454450913535,"sku":"9781631526305","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_4ba0a896-22cc-4342-a9a8-def72b6fb3ac.jpg?v=1773240895","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781631526305","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
