Praise for Leigh Ann’s work
“You are a magician. When I told friends and colleagues about our plans for this book, they all said the same thing: ‘There is no way that a writer will be able to blend the voices of a surgeon and a shrink into one compassionate yet authoritative voice.’ Yet you proved them all wrong. There is one voice in this book and it so carefully and elegantly combines the way that Susan and I speak and think. Thank you for your skill, your empathy, your friendship, and your dedication to this project.” —Alice D. Domar, Ph.D., author with Dr. Susan Love of LIVE A LITTLE!
“I owe you more than words can say. For your clarity of thought, fluidity of style, and your passion to make this book better than I realized it could be, thank you. Every single thing you did made it better.” —Polly Moore, Ph.D., author of THE 90-MINUTE BABY SLEEP PROGRAM
“Leigh Ann’s wonderfully gifted worked smoothed out all my rough drafts, making it possible for my book to see the light of day.” —Margaret Lobenstine, author of THE RENAISSANCE SOUL
“Leigh Ann worked at reshaping and polishing the structure and language of my initial manuscript. Leigh Ann’s brilliant conceptions and crystal-clear rewriting have enormously contributed to the success of the final product. Her rigorous demands on herself and me were a perfect response to my sometimes flagging effort of nearly three years.” —Lawrence Diller, author of SHOULD I MEDICATE MY CHILD?
