A tender, funny, stunningly candid memoir about the joys and challenges of parenting a neurodivergent young adult that reads like a heady concoction of Dorothy Allison, Anne Lamott, Alison Bechdel and David Sedaris.

Love Will Save Us, Right?
“…is a moving, authentic, engaging dive into the realities of parenting, loving and giving care at the end of capitalism. Suzette Partido’s astute and inviting storytelling brings both a political lens and a sturdy tenderness to the project of family-making while queer, low-income, disabled. This book sparkles with life, humor and infinite chutzpah.”
