This is an intimate reflection of the life a newly-single mother. Covering the one year span of the her life after separating from her husband. Exploring the challenges of managing the internal and external pressures of life, whilst figuring out her relationship with her three year old daughter and how to be a good mother. The prose is great, almost poetic, with each chapter having a clear motif. With how short this book there's no reason not to read it.
