Her first book, NO GOD LIKE THE MOTHER, is the winner of the 2020 Oregon Book Awards Ken Kesey award for Fiction. It is a collection of nine short stories based around Child, Mother, World. No God Like The Mother is a tribute to those who have experienced the brutality of breathing through the agony of losing a child. It sheds light on the unknown and the not knowing. It wraps warmth around the loneliness of being surrounded only by one’s thoughts. It is carrying the torch for someone who can no longer do so. It is the discovery that another suffers as you do. It is healing. It is the break from difficulty. It is the feeling of elation when another loves you too. It is the friends. It is the exhaustion that leaves ones breath when the word Mama is heard, and knowing that still, she must go on. It is freedom even if hope is all that sits on the other side.
