I forgot to post this yesterday for #recommendsday but it is one of my favorites! Dr. Nagami is a medical detective and in these essays she relates very interesting medical cases and how she solves them. I found it very empowering because at the end of a long day, she goes home to her kids and makes dinner happen and works on homework. A true superwoman.
