As a Scorpio moon myself, I deeply deeply felt Jamison's memoir Splinters. We're an obsessive group, rehashing old wounds over and over again until fresh blood emerges and we are startled again by the pain. When Jamison separates from her husband and carries on as a single mother, she experiences a wounding of sorts. The memoir is a way for her to heal, to find comfort & romance again, to fall in love with the idea of love, to fall in love with being a mother. It is a vulnerable and beautiful love story.
