A New Book by Lanya McKittrick, PhD

AWAKENING

"My second book is about self-discovery and awakening, finding myself after fifty. It's about all of the ways my life forced me onto a traditional path and kept me there as I navigated parenting sons with a rare genetic disease. It explores what happens when women break free of a lifetime of "shoulds" and finally find happiness/fulfillment, sometimes in the most outlandish places."
