Part of our  “Real Woman” Series!

Not only do stories entertain, they can also spread awareness and teach life lessons. An author can send a message in a way that people will enjoy hearing about.

Spotlight is on Jamie Lago
Author of Willow’s Words

Like Jamie, Willow doesn’t talk in certain situations. This is called Selective Mutism. It is an anxiety disorder where a person’s voice feels frozen and words won’t come out. Jamie and her mother wrote Willow’s Words, which is based on her own experiences, to bring awareness to SM and to help others with the disorder know they are not alone.
