After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and experiencing a dramatic shift in her health, career, and identity, Brooke turned her attention to writing about life with chronic illness and disability. Her work combines lived experience with the stories and insights of others, exploring the realities we don’t always see from the outside with honesty, warmth, and humor.
