A British expat living in Oakland, California, Carlisle is a zaftig housewife and an unapologetically relaxed parent. More than a decade ago, she was psychiatrically committed six times after the birth of her third baby. (They had to let her out eventually.) And in 2020, her family endured one of the longest C-19 school shutdowns in America. (They had to let the children back in at some point.) ILUAPL is an irreverent look at losing your mind and gaining yourself during voluntary lockdowns.
