"After my mother's death, feeling untethered and adrift as I struggled to find my bearings amid deep grief, I accidentally discovered a way to help navigate my sorrow through writing small posts on Instagram. Inspired by a line from the poet Anele Rubin, I began each piece with, 'I write because . . .' and ended with the line, 'I write because I can.' I created this tiny book from those pieces, and in turn found a new way to walk in this world. In this collection, I hope that if you too are experiencing grief, you may recognize yourself in my words and feel just a little less alone."-- Amazon.com website.
