I read this in a day. Not what i was expecting, but absolutely stunning. This is more like a memoir interspersed with the author's personal philosophy of mothering as change-making. I was blown away and inspired by Angela's deeply vulnerable exploration of her experiences as a child and mother.

Such an impactful book, I feel like these are the things that my mother could never tell me due the way she is/was raised. Such a enjoyable read!
