Q3: Mother Brain
by Chelsea Conaboy

“The story that exists in the science today is far more meaningful than the idea that mothers spring into being by instinct.

Q4: Ring of Salt
by Betsy Cornwell

Ring of Salt combines a powerful and relatable narrative of survivorship and healing with lush writing about the windswept landscapes and rich mythology of rural Ireland to craft a real-world fairy tale about the ordinary, but no less life-changing, forms of magic we can all access: vulnerability, community, and the power of telling your own story.”
