Letter to Caroline

"Letter to Caroline derives its power from complex characterizations...Through raw, confessional prose, Fannin maps how a shattered heart can become the vessel for new life." - The Book Commentary, 5 Star ReviewLetter to Caroline is a devastating reflective memoir in which a single lesbian mother reconstructs her past for her adopted daughter, tracing a path from childhood trauma, failed fertility treatments that ended a decade long relationship with the love of her life, and ultimately hard-won redemption. Fannin writes about motherhood beyond biology, the physical and psychological violence of infertility, and the cyclical nature of family trauma. Her raw excavation of love, identity, and reinvention makes this memoir essential reading for readers with different sexual orientations.
