As she writes, \"It feeds on those who can't go to a doctor and those who convince ourselves we do not need to.\"\u003cbr\u003eThrust into a series of major surgeries amid the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, Breedlove lingered at the edges of the living and made a deal with her ancestors: if she lived, she would write for them and all the suffering in her lineage that had gone unnamed.\u003cbr\u003eWith the generous and community-minded heart of an organizer, Breedlove chronicles harms caused by our profit-driven health care system, and explores the rigors of single parenting while living with chronic illness; the medical neglect that women, the LGBTQ+ community, and others on the margins experience; and her challenges with addiction. And, like Audre Lorde and Barbara Ehrenreich, she calls out the insidious impact of \"toxic positivity\" on women who live with cancer. The result is an intensely powerful narrative about the connective potential of grief and forging a new life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaitlin Breedlove\u003c\/b\u003e has been organizing, writing, and building movements in red states for the last twenty years, and working across lines of race, class, culture, gender, sexuality, and faith.\u003ci\u003e All In\u003c\/i\u003e is her first book. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eadrienne maree brown\u003c\/b\u003e is a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebest-selling author.
