Taylor Harris is winner of the 2023 Clara Johnson Award for Women’s Literature for her compelling memoir, This Boy We Made: A Memoir of Motherhood, Genetics, and Facing the Unknown.
Harris’s stunning memoir is a story about motherhood, the American medical establishment, the American education system, special education, race, and gender in America.
Throughout the telling of her quest to get her little boy‘s illness correctly diagnosed, and even when she is sharing the details of her own serious health challenges—which are happening simultaneously, Harris weaves a story that is scientifically complicated but accessible, real but beautiful, finely nuanced but clear.
