Susan Lightstone

I'm a lawyer by training, a writer by calling, a sister by chance and a mother by choice. My writing ranges from features in national magazines, to essays in The Globe and Mail and The Ottawa Citizen, to the bestselling The Pig and the Python: How to Prosper from the Aging Baby Boom and When the Pig Goes to Market: How to Achieve Long-term Investing Success (both co-written with David Cork). Dr. R.V. Hodder and I recently co-authored a medical book, Every Breath I Take: Living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. We used the stories of eleven people living with COPD — you might know it as emphysema — to help others cope with this difficult disease. Critics have called Every Breath I Take "pragmatic but thoroughly hopeful." This pleases me no end. The reaction to Dropped Threads has been equally pleasing. Readers have told me they love its shaded tones and hues of hope and grace. I'm proud Carol and Marjorie invited me to be a small part of this community of voices.
