Not all children stay quiet. Some turn pain into poetry.
With razor-sharp honesty and unapologetic emotion, Things I Never Say to My Mom cracks open the myth of the "perfect family." These poems don't flinch, from abuse masked as discipline to queerness silenced by shame, every word lays the truth bare. But inside the wreckage, there is humor, love, and a fire that refuses to die.
If you love Rupi Kaur, Andrea Gibson, or Yrsa Daley-Ward, you'll find a kindred voice in this fierce, lyrical collection.
This isn't just a book, it's a companion for anyone learning to speak their truth, survive their story, and heal on their own terms.
