"Marie Maxham was a nerdy little kid who read a lot of books and got picked last for everything. In college she learned that it was okay to be terrible at things as long as you enjoyed them. This opened the door to a tech career, dancing, circus arts, parenting, and more recently, writing."
"I was 51 years old when someone I’d never met spoke to me, using my voice. She had been locked away inside since I was a kid, a self I’d deemed too dangerous to be known to others. But the world had changed since she was imprisoned. My teenage child had made a different choice, had embraced their true self, and was living authentically. Maybe I could too."
