Odes to Trauma: The Journey from Mud to Lotus (signed copy)

Signed paperback posted from Martinborough

The Buddhists say there is no lotus without the mud. It took me a lifetime to learn they were right. These essays are my life of wading through it: cancer, losing a baby, bullying, daddy issues, near-death experiences, men I should never have got with. But also how every one of them became a petal. How the mud itself taught me to bloom. If you are stuck, if you are in despair, if you believe you will never get there, this book is for you. Because I promise you: you will. Every copy is signed by me and posted from Martinborough, Wairarapa. If you'd like it inscribed to someone, add their name in the order notes. Paperback, 2026. ISBN 978-0-473-80844-0.
