One of the pens behind the press
Priya Sandhu
Parenting and family life ยท The years nobody warns you about
Priya writes for parents stuck between the toddler books and the teenage ones, which is to say the long middle nobody publishes for. Her chapters open on a real scene, a kitchen at half past seven, a homework negotiation going badly, and work outward to what is actually happening in the room. She is generous about mistakes because she has the receipts. Her goal is never a perfect evening, only a repairable one.
