Paving the path to resilience, this book is a guide to discovering the strength within—a journey from adversity to triumph. Life's setbacks are not roadblocks but rather stepping stones in our journey. This book is a compass guiding you through the undulating landscape of challenges, offering insights into the remarkable ability we possess to rebound, adapt, and soar higher after every fall. Within these pages, we unravel the stories of those who have mastered the dance of bouncing back—a dance we all partake in, whether we realise it or not. Each setback becomes a chance to defy gravity, to rise with newfound strength and resilience. So, let's embark on this journey together, exploring the transformative power of the bounce back. Because life is not about avoiding the falls; it's about how high we bounce when we inevitably rise again. There is nothing more powerful than the human brain, which can be your closest confidant or fiercest adversary depending on whether you let it control you or you control it. It is always, always a case of mind over matter. Zeherra Mecklai

Feminist theory on motherhood has successfully transformed mothers into subjects of their own discourse, recognized the historical, heterogeneous and socially constructed origins of their life experience while, at the same time, widening our understanding of the notion of mothering. This collection combines a literary and a wider cultural perspective from which to look at the topic of the representation of other or forgotten motherhoods. Mothers who have been forced to live exiled and away from their children, women who after trying to conceive, get pregnant but discover they cannot bear to become mothers, or even literary characters based on an autobiographical experience of a sexually abusive mother. The essays critically point out how writing becomes a tool to think and write about the many aspects of motherhood such as an idealized maternal experience versus the real one or the accepted stereotypes of the good mother and the bad mother.
