Rachael Rifkin is a ghostwriter/personal historian who digs history so much that she tried to go back in time. Her favorite things are reading, random acts of kindness, high fives, playing with her dogs, and laughing with her husband and son.
The hypervigilance began in the last month of my pregnancy, when cars on the freeway started to feel a little closer than usual. By the time I was due, it felt like they were purposely heading for my car.
