Growing Pains

By: Mie, Reid

Same house. Different childhoods. Same sky. Different storms.

Growing Pains is a lyrical collection about siblinghood, family roles, and the uneven ways love is given.

It is about the child who stays.
The child who leaves.
The child who is given.
The child who learns to go without.

It is about parents who change over time, and the children who inherit different versions of them. It is about the strange grief of realizing that sharing blood does not mean sharing memory, and that the same family can make more than one kind of survivor.

With the quiet ache of lived truth, Reid Mie writes into the spaces between siblings-the love, resentment, distance, loyalty, guilt, and understanding that remain long after childhood ends.

For anyone who has ever said, we were raised in the same house, but not the same way, Growing Pains offers language for what was felt but never named.
