Normal Was Never the Point

This collection of poems explores the raw, unfiltered landscape of motherhood through the lens of raising a neurodiverse child with Tourette's. It is a journey through love and exhaustion, laughter and grief, patience and surrender. These poems hold the quiet moments that often go unseen-the weight of worry in the middle of the night, the fierce protectiveness in everyday battles, and the deep, unshakable bond between mother and child. Honest, intimate, and deeply human, this is motherhood in its most real form.
