About the Author

Dr. Margaret Aranda is a Stanford and USC-trained Anesthesiologist with subspecialty certification in Critical Care. No one knew that in the year after writing this book, both little Missy and Dr. Aranda would be severely hit by a distracted driver, resulting in a traumatic brain injury and a twelve-year disability for the doctor. While Missy was fine, Dr. Aranda had to learn how to say the word, "the" and the persevered ten years later to accomplish this book revision.
