The Stories We Keep - Paperback

by Shawna Holly (Author)

Nobody talks about the hard parts of being a mother...at least, not until it's too late.

Depressed, isolated, and stuck in her head, Jenna spends her days comparing herself to the "good moms," wishing for more patience and grace-and less mom-guilt and rage.

Until a new friend helps her understand just how far into the darkness she's fallen...and a series of very bad days sends her running for her life.

Back in her hometown, eight-hundred miles away, she must confess what she's done to the sassy, southern women who love her, and who can see her for who she truly is, even if she can't see it for herself.

All to answer one impossible question: Can she find herself-and her way home-again, before there's nothing left to find?
