She went back to find where it all started—the panic attacks, the dissociation—in the early days of motherhood.

She swims with sharks, falls in love with a rabbit, and watches her father fight for his life. She is a newcomer in a small regional town and a mother, but what else? She writes about family and friends, life and mortality, memory and forgetting, and along the way she finds her voice again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is for anyone who has felt unmoored.

But it is written in sparkling prose with a sly and wry tone that is illuminating about the everyday as it pitches for a rich and fulfilled life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078738886892,"sku":"9780645874587","price":37.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/26191443482417.jpg?v=1765219461"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/brooke-boland.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
