  • India Knight was born in 1965. She lives in London with her three children, writes a weekly column for The Sunday Times and has written two fiction books, My life on a plate and Don't you want me? and a non-fiction book, The Shops. After writing an article in The Sunday Times about her daughter's special needs (Nell has a cardiac condition called truncus arteriosus, and DiGeorge Syndrome, aka 22q11 deletion) she was so inundated with e-mails that she has launched this weblog as a forum for parents in a similar position to keep in touch, compare notes and help each other.
