Before I Learned to Hold

Before I Learned to Hold Some parts of our lives shape us long before we understand what they mean. Before I Learned to Hold is the beginning of the story, the childhood memories, people and moments that quietly formed the foundations of everything that came later. Through early family life, school years and the complicated dynamics that exist wishing many families, this memoir explores the small acts of kindness that stay with us, and the resilience that can grow from difficult beginnings. Told with honesty and reflection, this book returns to the early years of life that would later be shaped by loss, love, and survival. Some places settle inside you so deeply that they become part of the landscape of your mind. This book contains references to trauma, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and the effects of alcohol misuse. These experiences are written honestly and without graphic detail but may be distressing for some readers. Please take care while reading.
