“Hillary has been a commanding force in writing about raising a child who is medically fragile ever since joining Romper.com. I appreciate and am constantly awed by the breadth of her perspective and the honesty she writes with, and it’s something our readership respects as well. Hillary has proven time and time again that what you see is what you get: real, authentic, powerful, devastating, bold, and thought-provoking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read a piece of her work and been amazed by her ability to tackle her life with purpose and drive, something I image is not easy to do day in and day out in a culture always seeking to otherize her (and Esmé’s) experience.”

“Hillary’s writing is nothing short of goose bump inducing. It’s prose with the heart of poetry and personal stories made universal. For parents on a similar journey, her words strike a deep down place– one that often remains neglected or misunderstood.”
