Reviews for *Talking Splat*

"She approaches the subject with humor and the sensitivity that only someone who lives with an invisible disability can. Great read!"

"This book is a beautiful and open discussion about living with an invisible disability. I have a chronic autoimmune disease, but appear fine most of the time. I've lived with this disease since I was eighteen and still didn't really know how to talk about it with people, but this book gives great, practical advice for people in my situation."

"I found this book fascinating for anyone who needs a workable and easy system to put a routine into your life, while coping with any type of hidden disability! As entertaining as it is informative, I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels alone with their invisible disability… Use the book as intended and see your self-esteem improve as well as receiving hints on how to discuss your bad days with co-workers, friends and family!"
