Recently, I had the honor of being asked by Jeanine Friesen (of The Baking Beauties) to review her newly released book The Everything Guide to Living Gluten Free (part of the everything series).

In the last two Gluten Free Self-Advocacy Tools we talked about advocacy in your personal life, and advocacy in regards to meeting your shopping and dining needs.
