haikus & musings from a hesitant mother's first year of motherhood

many women grow up knowing they want to become mothers. for others, the decision is complex. what will happen to your old identity? will you like the woman you become? what about all the tradeoffs?

this book is a collection of poetry written in the author’s first year as a mother, while she tackled these questions head on. her haikus and free verse encapsulate every emotion experienced during the ebbs and flows of early motherhood. in these pages, you’ll ride all the highs and lows of postpartum life during a modern-day maternity leave. 

for reluctant mothers, women who are unsure about motherhood, and those who are learning to see themselves in a maternal light—this anthology is a diary that is yours to discover.
