Love, loss, grief, and growth are knit together in this uniquely moving collection from Adanna Moriarty. Feel a life flash before you as we follow Adanna on the path of her own - from childhood wonder to young adult freedoms, to budding motherhood and the tragic loss of a parent. Woven with a love only loss could know, each piece brings a nostalgic comfort, causing the reader to ponder the threads of their own life. Moriarty thoughtfully narrates her shift in child to woman and examines the hardest of topics in an honest and gentle way. In doing so, her story is not only relatable but also softens the things we find most difficult to discuss - mental health, adapting to change, and the quiet tragedy of death. This is a collection readers will return to again and gain for comfort, for validation, and for the nostalgia of a life well lived. Adanna Moriarty weaves a memoir of poetry by exploring each stage of life and the interlocking fabric of community and family that shapes a person. From a childhood in the 1980s to adulthood in the 2000s, she drives through her memories and reflects on the loss of her father and the person she has become. She finds love and hope for humanity by exploring both her inner and outer worlds through self-reflection and world observation. Each section is laced with vivid imagery and nature as emotion: The youngest child's loneliness in the fields of upstate New York. The teenage runaway in the gritty, hot, unforgiving climate of 1990s Phoenix, AZ. The young mother coming to terms with the fact that her children are starting to move out and become adults themselves. The pandemic, the loss of a parent, the aftermath. A storyteller from childhood, Moriarty has woven poems into a memoir - a journey uniquely her own, yet relatable to her readers.
