Jenny & Heath Montgomery
I'm Jenny: my writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times, Sensitive Skin, Montana magazine, Switched-On Gutenberg, Barrow Street, the Cairo Times and elsewhere. See more about my work at jenny-montgomery.com
I'm Heath: I'm a sophomore in high school. I'm into theater, improv comedy, antique book collecting, and video games.
Jenny wrote The Outlaws as we researched the history of Robin Hood's Barn together. Parts of the book are narrated by Heath, who provided close edits to the entire manuscript. Many of our conversations are captured in it. We explore the complexities of the parent-child relationship when the child is physically disabled and the parent is not.
We live with husband/dad Ryan in Missoula, Montana where our family runs Montgomery Distillery, making spirits with grain grown by Grandma and Grandpa Montgomery. We have been active with various organizations in the grassroots disability rights movement, which works to advance the independence and civil rights of people with disabilities.
