At the age of 27, Sara Dyer lost her mother to suicide and the loss shook the earth beneath her feet.

In these raw sketches of what it’s like to witness a mother battle bravely with mental health issues, and for a daughter to carry on after shattering loss, the author walks us through the wide spectrum of her emotions: grief, despair, shame, and, ultimately, self forgiveness.

Part tribute to a beautiful, complicated mother, part journey towards grace and a feeling of home again, the book is a poignant look at the core experiences of being human, including, and perhaps most importantly, not just what it’s like to fall, but what it’s like to rise.
