Debut Author leans on complex mother-daughter relationships in new novel about intergenerational trauma

As women, we have tremendous capacity to wound and heal one another. Even in extending acts of generosity, we are filling our own pockets with something that satisfies the hungriest parts of ourselves. The central characters in my debut novel, God Bless the Child, are bound by what they crave and withhold from one another as they exist within circumstances that have been thrust upon them.
