BOOK SUMMARY

Karissa Sherwood is a devoted mother on a relentless mission to "fix" her developmentally delayed daughter, Marley. With no clear diagnosis, Karissa pours her energy into countless therapies and medical appointments, determined to help her daughter thrive. Beneath her fierce resolve, however, lies a hidden current of grief and resentment—emotions she cannot admit, even to herself.

When life-altering events shatter her carefully constructed world, Karissa is forced to confront her deepest fears and unspoken truths. Through heartbreak and revelation, she embarks on a transformative journey of acceptance and self-discovery, one that reshapes her understanding of happiness, peace, and contentment.

Mothering Marley: Wounds to Wisdom is an inspiring and deeply personal story of love, resilience, and the power of rewriting your own narrative. Karissa’s journey reveals that healing begins within and that the pen to craft a meaningful life had been in her hand all along.
