About this title

Synopsis

Whoa There, Barbara! is a funny, heartfelt illustrated story inspired by the real-life experiences of Lacey, a mom, retired veteran, and artist living with multiple sclerosis.

Meet Lainie—a woman in her thirties with MS—and her unpredictable left leg, Barbara. Barbara has a mind of her own, causing spontaneous karate kicks, glitter explosions, soup-can avalanches, and other delightfully awkward adventures. From school drop-offs to yoga mishaps, Whoa There, Barbara! reminds us that laughter is a powerful way to face the unpredictability of chronic illness.

Written with humor and heart, this is the first book in a series for young adults and the young-at-heart who live with invisible autoimmune conditions. Whether you're a parent, patient, caregiver, or friend, you'll find both comfort and comedy in Lainie's journey—because sometimes life kicks, and sometimes you kick back.

Perfect for:

• Readers with MS, Lyme, or other autoimmune conditions
• Families navigating chronic illness
• Fans of humor-infused memoirs and illustrated storytelling
• Anyone who’s ever had a “Barbara” in their life

Laugh loud. Love hard. And never underestimate a rebellious leg.
