This collection of poems and diary entries follows McNish's journey from an unexpected pregnancy through the birth and first three years of her daughter's life. Raw, unpolished and most definitely unflinching, it covers all the things that, as a new mum, you think but might never say. From breastfeeding in public to the struggles of looking after this tiny new life, the poems made me cry with joy, ache with sadness and smile with recognition.
