What inspired you to write your memoir?
I have lived with pelvic organ prolapse for eight years. This is a condition that affects approximately 50% of women yet there are almost no books available about this condition except medical texts or self-help. I wanted to write a book that was personal and honest, not about the condition, but about being a woman living with the condition.
About your Book:
A brutally honest, and at times pee your pants funny, tale about one woman’s journey through motherhood with a condition that affects approximately half of all females, pelvic organ prolapse.
This moving memoir is one woman’s inspirational story about the traumatic birth of her first child and subsequent diagnosis of the chronic condition, pelvic organ prolapse. Wrapped within an engaging account of living with prolapse is an insightful glimpse into what it means to be a mother battling chronic pain, embarrassing side effects, and depression in a society that often idealizes motherhood as a time of bliss and joy, and dismisses this embarrassing, and often debilitating, condition.
Inspiration for her healing comes from the most unlikely of places, the heart-wrenching struggles of women in the developing world. A startlingly honest, elegant, and often humorous depiction of life with pelvic organ prolapse, And Then My Uterus Fell Out, calls out to all women around the world who suffer in silence with a life-affirming message of dignity, hope, and sisterhood.
How did you decide how to publish your book and where is it published through:
I decided to Indie publish because I had a very specific vision for the book and my professional background gave me the knowledge and skills to ensure a professional product was produced.
How do you see writing a Memoir as different from writing other genres of books?
It is very scary! I shared things through the memoir that very few, and in some cases no one, knew about me. Being that brutally honest and open is scary and hard, but I knew it was important that I shared my story to help other women.
