"Dr. Rosier gets it. She knows the dance and the drama of ADHD, having lived it herself since she was a little girl. Of the many excellencies I could single out, including the clear and pungent prose, I am most moved by the heart that infuses this memorable book of pithy and hard-earned advice."--Edward Hallowell, MD, author of Driven to Distraction and ADHD 2.0
