About book Don't Kill The Birthday Girl: Tales From An Allergic Life (2011)
After living with a woman for 16 years who has had celiac disease since birth, I could feel Beasley's plight between trying to stay safe and trying to be "normal" in the sense that you can go out to eat and not worry. She rebuffs a lot of those critics who call food allergies a sort of bourgeois diagnosis, and show the pain and suffering (with a good ounce of humor) that a life like hers entails. I have an utterly complete author crush on her. While not all of my allergies are as severe as the author's, some are. Despite knowing quite a bit about food allergies, I also learned quite a bit from this book. I've even given it to my husband to read. For anyone who knows someone with food allergies, or who has food allergies themselves, I would recommend this book. Some of the information may be old news, but when it comes to this subject, any new information you can glean is golden.
