We're thrilled to announce that Kelly Corrigan, the bestselling author of The Middle Place , will be our guest blogger beginning next Monday, April 27th and running through June 1st.

The Middle Place describes "that sliver of time when parenthood and childhood overlap"; a place Kelly found herself when she and her revered father were both diagnosed with cancer. In moving, beautifully bittersweet prose, Kelly's pluck for survival and outsized personality, shines through and provides the hope she -- as well as all of us -- ultimately need.

Each of her entries will be introduced with a special video, and if you haven't had the opportunity to watch her on tape, please take a look below and see why Kelly is such an inspiration to us all.
