Equal parts beautiful and brutal, Soldier Sailor explores the transformation that occurs when you become a mother—your identity is reshaped, your goals and expectations drop away, you grow claws and lose your mind, you sacrifice and surrender to a new way of living. We witness Sailor endure all of this without proper support which is painfully isolating for her. Kilroy deftly captures the joy, rage, and overwhelming love in this raw and visceral account of early motherhood. Thank you so much @scribnerbooks for my gifted copy.
