Amazing book, Dear Love. In an age when we're ashamed of almost nothing except disability, it's remarkable that well-known names from television, film, journalism, literature, music, and politics are willing to reveal their ties to physical and mental disability. In widely varying voices, the contributors describe what it means to be a parent, sibling, in-law, or child of someone fragile—or fragile themselves. "By opening that closet," Sereni writes, "they undertook a confession that was never easy." These are words—courageous, humble, respectful, vulnerable, somewhat arrogant, proud, joyful, hopeful, worried—that show a different face of the public figure. And by the end, the reader finds themselves pleasantly confused: it becomes unclear which of the narrators and the narrated are truly the fragile ones.
