Kenna Lee, smiling full-time nurse, part-time environmentalist, and all-the-time mother, lives in Sebastopol, California, with her three semiferal children and several domesticated animals. After receiving a liberal arts degree back east, she entered the underground world of homebirth midwifery, only to emerge a decade later into a more normal life as a hospice nurse. Tortured by the distance between her suburban lifestyle and her perceptions of "right living," she began writing about mothering in the era of global warming, only to discover that her work struck a deep chord in her community of mothers. She began publishing in online venues where she wrote about maternal eco-anxiety in her online column, "Home Eco-nomics." Her personal essays have also been published by "Brain, Child, Amoskeag" (global warming issue), "Midwifery Today," the "Journal of Hospice and Palliative Care Nurses," the "American Journal of Nursing," and the "Northern California Bohemian," as well as aired on the KQED Perspectives series.
