A Gathering of Flowers:
An Anthology in Essay

“In this moving collection of essays, nine women tell stories of reinventing themselves. Sometimes lyrical, sometimes brutal, often both, these diverse voices explore everything from learning to accept love, to changing careers, to moving through grief and generational trauma. These writers show that while ‘today bears the weight of yesterday,’ healing and survival are not only possible, but powerful.”
