About the Book
Jess is a writer, public health worker, and mother to a little boy who was born with Pierre-Robin Sequence. Upon his diagnosis, Jess and her husband, like many other parents, turned to the internet to search for answers. The information they found was largely outdated and based on worst-case scenarios, which only frightened and confused them even more. With a background in health science and a desire to help, Jess resolved to put together a book to guide other PRS families through the journey.
With information and research drawn from both personal experience and over 150 medical sources, photos, and interviews with more than twenty PRS families, KEEP YOUR CHIN UP is a guide to PRS written for parents, by a parent. This third edition revisits several families featured in the first edition, including updates three and a half years later, giving families a longer-term view on a PRS diagnosis.
**PRAISE FOR KEEP YOUR CHIN UP**
It provides an extensive and thorough understanding of PRS without being overwhelming, while also providing relatable insight into the experiences you may have as a parent of a newborn with PRS while the NICU.

Hi, I’m Jess, and I write. I write about different parts of the world because I love documenting it and its cultures. I write short fiction because I like to have a bit of fun and experiment. And I write about my own lived experiences around mental illness, maternal mental health and trauma to open honest dialogues about the hard stuff. Because we’re all in this together.
