About Neidy
Neidy (naydee) is writer, content manager, mama, and fire wife. She has 3 niños that she apologizes to frequently (but loves them immensely)! Her husband is also a veteran from the Marine Corps—she’s had the privilege to walk through two overseas deployments with him. She and her family are also a part of a bilingual church that has a big heart for diversity. Telling stories is her M.O. and she’ll never tire of their magic.
WHY ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS BOOK?
From the moment I heard about it from my friend Liz, I knew I had to read it—mostly because they’re a collection of stories about her childhood written by her mom! But what really stuck out to me was that I was delighted to see what motherhood would look like as I got older. Also, who can say no to six-minute vignettes?
