A Guide to Growing Wings

At the age of 27, Sara Dyer lost her mother to suicide and the loss shook the earth beneath her feet.

In these raw sketches of what it's like to witness a mother battle bravely with mental health issues, and for a daughter to carry on after shattering loss, the author walks us through the wide spectrum of her emotions: grief, despair, shame, and, ultimately, self forgiveness.

Part tribute to a beautiful, complicated mother, part journey towards grace and a feeling of home again, the book is a poignant look at the core experiences of being human, including, and perhaps most importantly, not just what it's like to fall, but what it's like to rise.
