Growing up in a culture where emotions are often buried beneath duty, expectations, and fear of judgment, I realized that many people carry entire oceans in their hearts, but are never taught how to swim. What inspires me to write is…

This caught me by surprise because I’m not a mother and hadn’t intentionally made motherhood a theme in my writing. But this reader’s comment made me think about the role of mothers in my novels, and I…
