Madwoman by Chelsea Bieker

Wow okay. I did. It expect this book to take this turn. I was captivated by some of the quotes throughout. Here are a few that took my breath away in the first 2 chapters alone:
“We put diseased animals out of their misery. We don’t want them to suffer. To infect the rest of the lot. We let men live. “
“But now my babies had transformed into kids. Walking talking individuals. Holding up mirror after mirror. And in those mirrors I saw my own face. And it was not as I’d hoped. Instead of healing and transformation due to my wise choices, I saw my father’s face just under my skin. So similar in structure. His eyes. My eyes. And behind him, you, mother. Looking at me with something like expectation, sorrow. And in my worst visions, a roiling and motivated anger.”
“The dance of managing both motherhood and trauma was slowly eroding me.”
More to come.
