Poems that offer an honest portrayal of the complex realities of motherhood, including the devastating effects of postpartum depression.

Bell uses various poetic forms to shed light on the challenges that come with motherhood, including the physical and emotional challenges of childbirth while celebrating the beauty of women's strength and resilience. Written with deep care and fearlessness, Bell's debut collection is both an educational tool and a powerful component of recovery in that shares others' similar stories.
