The Book

Perfect Enough is a memoir about a woman who believed competence could solve anything, and what happened when life proved her wrong.

A driven former business owner, Kelli entered motherhood certain that preparation, discipline, and effort would be enough. But when her first son doesn't respond to routines, rules, or reassurance, and is later diagnosed on the autism spectrum, her carefully constructed sense of self begins to unravel.

What follows is not a parenting manual. It's the story of what happens when the systems you've built your whole life around stop working, and you have to figure out who you are without them. Spanning more than two decades, Perfect Enough is honest, specific, and occasionally funny in the way that crying in a GMC Yukon is funny in retrospect.

For women who have held everything together so long they've forgotten they didn't have to.
