Jessica Hammond Doube is a playwright, blogger, non-professional actor and amateur oversharer. Her blog is at jessica-hammond.com. She lives in Wellington with her two deliciously odd daughters.

Jessica Hammond Doube's daughters are at risk at every playdate, every time they go to a restaurant or cafe, and at school every day.
