The Blue Years

About the Book

The Blue Years is a lyrical essay; a story told through prose, poetry, love notes, meticulous research, and meditations on the sea. Written at a beach house, at the very edge of California. This collection grapples with grief, love, isolation, motherhood, and what we owe to ourselves in this life. It is a balm to an broken heart and a beacon for weathering any storm.
