I felt like I was falling apart completely

Teresa Wong is a Calgary writer who had three children in less than five years. At first, she feared motherhood would destroy her, but is pleasantly surprised to find herself continually remade. When the kids are asleep, she writes and draws pictures. When she is asleep, it's never for long. This excerpt is from Dear Scarlet, her first book written as a letter to her first-born, which was released on April 1, 2019.
