Kay’s goal for writing about lupus is to help further educate, encourage, and inspire readers. Discovering that many people don’t understand lupus prompted her to create the lupus book projects. She’s passionate about sharing her story so that readers may broaden their understanding of lupus through the “voices” of those who are living and, in many cases, thriving with lupus.
