Some families pass on a love of learning, while in others, you learn how to die. That happens to be readily passed on as well!

Mia's mother had everything to be happy, as a relative she hardly knows tells her on the day of the funeral. But she committed suicide. Like her, in their rich and respectable family, Mia should've had a sheltered childhood and a gildend youth. But Mia is a survivor, and it'll take her years to put words to what she went through… In A Fleeting Mother, writer and poet Emma Marsantes autopsies a childhood ravaged three times over.
