The First Cry & The Last Word: Essays and Poems About Birth, Death and Everything In Between

By Adonica Shaw

In this intimate and reflective collection, Adonica Shaw explores the quiet revolutions that shape our lives-the births we celebrate, the endings we grieve, and the countless reinventions in between. Drawing from her own experiences navigating motherhood, identity, and purpose, she invites readers into the sacred space of transition, where who we were must die for who we're becoming to be born. Part memoir, part meditation, this book is a love letter to change itself-a testament to the beauty found in letting go, the courage it takes to begin again, and the grace that lives within every transformation.
