What We Carry by Maya Shanbhag Lang

5.0

This simultaneously heart warming and heartbreaking story of a woman and her relationship with her mother. The strength of their bond in the first section in their ability to really talk. How when she called her mother it opened a magic doorway to be heard, even in the minutiae of life. Then the struggle that ensues with memory, depression, burnout, and childbirth all the while recognizing who she built her mother up to be may not be entirely true. However there’s so much love. A truly beautiful memoir!
