I am a writer who focuses on faith, family, disability, and ethics. While my topics are quite varied, everything I write has an element of memoir. I reflect on my experiences as a Christian (theologically conservative and socially liberal/progressive), a wife and mother (my husband and I have three children), and a person living with a disability (I and one of my children have a genetic bone disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta, or OI, which causes fragile bones and other symptoms). My interest in reproductive ethics came out of our exploration of how reproductive technologies, such as IVF and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), might allow us to have children who would not inherit my disorder. My book, No Easy Choice, is the story of that exploration.
