Flesh & Blood

Honest, warm, and witty, this memoir reads like a conversation with a dear friend, a woman sharing her vulnerabilities and confidence, her pain and loss, as she endures infertility, illness, and recovery. With self-awareness and humor, the author takes readers along as she heals by focusing on the experiences of her mother and grandmothers, the wonders of the natural world, and creating a legacy for herself. Perfect for readers of Anne Lamott and books like When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi and Ladyparts by Deborah Copaken.
