Welcome to the twisted little mind of Amanda Winn Lee. Come take a stroll through her consciousness as she navigates the arduous- and sometimes surprisingly hilarious- journey of her family’s battles with cancer. Acquaint yourself with her goofy preexisting mental condition leading up to her stint as the terrified mother of a seriously ill infant. Once the madness begins, her acerbic wit and bizarre brand of humor carry her through some of every parent’s worst nightmares. See how she handles the insanity that science -- or nature, or whatever -- throws her way. Whether she’s starting a betting pool with the nurses on when her son will lose his hair, or silently willing him to just keep breathing, Winn Lee shows us the journey through her eyes in a way that is both riveting and ridiculous. Her account is a raw and unflinchingly honest look at life in the hospital for the parent of a sick child. (Don’t worry- the kid lives.)

Amanda Winn Lee used to have a very active career in anime, but now she mainly just enjoys hanging out with her kid. She voiced Rei in Neon Genesis Evangeleon, Yukiko in Persona 4, Momiji in Blue Seed, Rally in Gunsmith Cats, Mimiru in .hack/SIGN, Rio in the Burn Up series, Mika Seido in Gene Shaft, Pandy in Dead Leaves, and a bunch of others that she can’t think of right now. She also wrote ADR scripts and did some directing, most notably for the first round of Evangelion movies, but with the aid of a talented therapist was able to break this self-destructive cycle. Her dream of living in artistic obscurity keeps suffering setbacks as she continues to get work voicing video games. Her goals are to revel in her status as an anime has-been and to achieve MILFdom. She is currently married to the unbelievably sexy and hilarious Jason C. Lee until the drugs wear off and he comes to his senses. They share a house with their son Nicholas, as well as a snake, two ridiculous dogs, a mouse, and a 50 lb. tortoise named “Methuselah.”
