What readers are saying

“Becoming the Moon gave me the words I'd been searching for. My daughter and I read it together the week before her first cycle — and something I'd been dreading became sacred.”

“You Are the Sun, My Son lives on my boy's nightstand now. “The world does not need perfect men, it needs good men” — he says it back to me. I didn't know a book could do that.”

“I've started living with the moon instead of against it. The new-moon ritual takes ten minutes, and it's softened my whole month. I feel like myself again.”
