Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma by Melanie Shankle
5.0
I received an advanced copy of this book.
I have enjoyed Melanie's blog, podcast, and writing for several years, and in Here Be Dragons, she shares the most raw and emotional story yet. Melanie dives more into her daughter's experience with teenage mean girls and the mean girl Melanie also dealt with throughout her life due to a toxic relationship with her mother.
I love the reference of the title to uncharted waters where dragons may need to be slayed. Melanie demonstrates how we may need to slay dragons in our own lives, or equip others to be able to do so as everyone approaches uncharted waters at some point in their life. Melanie's personality, humor and emotion come through in a very difficult story to share, and provides inspiration to fight our own dragons as we confront challenges in our lives.
