Synopsis: As a mom of a newly diagnosed child with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Chynna Laird relentlessly sought experts in SPD, as well as top nutritionists, biopsychologists, and neurologists. She thought that if she could understand the major functions of the brain, and how it’s supposed to take in, process and respond to stimulation, she could discover how SPD interferes with these functions. Understanding the whole picture (the combination of body, brain and nutritional health) led Chynna to embrace the “Sensory Diet.”
“Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject…”
In the pages of “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD”, Chunna share the keys of a well-balanced nutritional diet and the activities and exercises that truly work. “The Sensory Processing Diet” is specifically designed for parents to utilize the resources in this study to create a whole picture of their own child’s conditions and create a customize Sensory Diet for him or her.
Critique: Exceptionally well written, organized and presented for the benefit of the non-specialist general reader with no previous background on the subject, “The Sensory Processing Diet: One Mom’s Path of Creating Brain, Body and Nutritional Health for Children with SPD” is an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to community and college/university library Parenting collections in general, and SPD supplemental studies lists in particular. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of concerned parents that “The Sensory Processing Diet” is also readily available in a paperback edition (9781615995219, $21.95) and in a digital book format (Kindle, $6.95).

Love Imagined is an American woman's unique struggle for identity.

"Joining the long history of women of color fighting to claim literary space to tell our stories, Sherry Quan Lee shares her truth with fierce
courage and strength in Love Imagined. ... Quan Lee crafts a riveting tale of Minnesota life set within the backdrop of racial segregation,
the Cold War, the sexual revolution while navigating it all through the lens of her multi-layered identities. A true demonstration of the
power of an intersectional perspective."

--Kandace Creel Falcon, Ph.D., Director of Women's and Gender Studies, Minnesota State University, Moorhead


"Love Imagined: this fascinating, delightful, important book. This imagining love, this longing for love. This poverty of No Love,
this persistent racism, sexism, classism, ageism. The pain these evils cause the soul...This is an important document of a mixed-race
contemporary woman, a memoir about her family lineages back to slavery, back to China, back to early Minneapolis, and about the struggle of
finding herself in all of these."

--Sharon Doubiago, author of My Father's Love


"When I read Sherry's story [Love Imagined], I recognized feelings and meanings that mirrored mine. I felt a sense of release, an exhale, and
I knew I could be understood by her in a way that some of my family and friends are unable to grasp, through no fault of their own. It's the
Mixed experience. Sherry Lee's voice, her story, will no doubt touch and heal many who read it."

--Lola Osunkoya, MA Founder of Neither/Both LLC, Mixed-Race Community Building and Counseling
